AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two quadrilaterals with distinct vertex sets. In the first, take two adjacent sides from one vertex as base vectors, and draw their perpendicular vectors. From another vertex, construct two sides that are parallel or corresponding to the base vectors. Repeat a similar structure for the second quadrilateral but with different vertex positions. In both quadrilaterals, mark two pairs of corresponding angles, and connect certain vertices with segments to form triangles for comparing angle measures and side ratios. The overall figure shows two similar quadrilaterals, with equal angles and proportional sides, illustrating geometric similarity through vector directions and angle congruence.
