AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a geometric demonstration of fraction addition, featuring two concentric circles and a common center point. Begin by drawing a perpendicular line from the center to the circle, intersecting it at two points. Connect these points to form a segment. Then, symmetrically construct a set of points along this segment and connect them with dashed lines. Next, draw solid lines from the center to the symmetric points to form two polygons. Finally, represent the fractions as rectangles outside the circles, using dashed lines to indicate the numerators and denominators, visually demonstrating the process of adding fractions.
