AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a circle with a center point and a point on the circumference. Connect the center to that point with a radius. Then rotate the point around the center in 30-degree increments, twelve times total, drawing a radius from the center to each new position. Between each pair of adjacent radii, fill a circular sector. Label each angle at the center. Below the figure, place two text input boxes: one for entering an angle value and one for displaying the result. Finally, to the right, draw a mirror image of the circle and its sectors, and rotate one radius by 30 degrees, labeling the corresponding angle.
