AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle with one vertex at the origin and the other two vertices on the x-axis and y-axis. From the origin, draw three rays passing through the triangle's three vertices. On each ray, place two distinct points, creating six new points. Use these points to form two additional triangles, each sharing the origin as a vertex and having sides parallel to the original triangle's corresponding sides. The final image shows three similar triangles of different sizes, all sharing the same vertex at the origin.
