AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rectangle with four vertices A, B, C, and D, where AB and CD are parallel and equal, and AD and BC are parallel and equal. Construct the diagonals AC and BD of the rectangle and find their intersection point F. Rotate the vertices A, C, and D of the rectangle to get A', C', and D', and draw a new rectangle A'C'D'. Draw the midpoint E of the rectangle and rotate the vertices D, B, and C around E to get D'₁, B', and C'₁, and draw a new rectangle D'₁B'C'₁.
