AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw two circles with radius 2, label their centers as starting and ending points, and connect the starting point to points on the circles to form segments. Rotate the segments around the starting point by specific angles repeatedly to create multiple sectors, demonstrating the geometric construction of fraction addition. Connect the starting and ending points after rotation to form new segments and draw the sector regions. Use the least common multiple and vectors to translate the shapes, illustrating the geometric interpretation of fraction addition.
