AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a cylinder to demonstrate the calculation of its surface area. Start by creating a line perpendicular to the base and a point on this line. Use the point and the center of the base to form the cylinder. Then, unroll the side of the cylinder into a rectangle and draw its outline. Finally, complete the rectangle into a quadrilateral to clearly show the side, top, and bottom faces of the cylinder.
