AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rectangle ABCD with point A on the x-axis and point B on the y-axis, with points C and D on the vertical lines of the x-axis and y-axis, respectively. Then, draw semicircles with diameters DA, AC, and CD. Next, connect points C and A, A and D, D and C, C and B, and B and D. Finally, construct points P inside polygon 2, Q inside polygon 1, and R inside polygon 3, and measure angle DAB.
