AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a trapezium by first creating two parallel lines, then selecting points on each line and connecting them to form the trapezium. Measure and label the interior angles, and draw perpendicular lines from the intersection point of the diagonals to the sides, marking the segments and the intersection point.
