AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a cube and demonstrate the derivation of the volume formula through geometric volume calculations. Start by constructing a cube, then cut it into several parts using geometric transformations, and rearrange these parts to form new geometric shapes. Show the calculation and derivation of the cube's volume, and the role of vectors in geometric transformations.
