AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a sphere and demonstrate the volume derivation by rotation. Include a cylinder and a cone related to the sphere. Make a cross-section on the sphere, intersecting with the cylinder and cone to get several intersection points and line segments. Use these points and segments to draw auxiliary lines, forming several triangles and quadrilaterals to clearly show the key steps of volume derivation.
