AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a circle and illustrate the calculation of its circumference and area. Start by plotting the coordinate axes and finding their intersection point, then draw a circle centered at this point. Divide the circle's circumference into segments using squares, and demonstrate the relationship between the circumference and diameter through similar transformations. Construct sectors using rotations and reflections, and calculate the area. The final image should include the circle, squares, sectors, and relevant measurements, clearly showing the mathematical principles.
