AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a geometric figure representing the addition of two fractions. Start by taking point C on the y-axis, then take point B above C to represent the unit length of the first fraction. Next, take point A above B to represent the unit length of the second fraction. Construct rays and polygons to represent the addition of the two fractions. Use input boxes to input the numerators and denominators of the fractions, and construct corresponding geometric shapes based on the input values, including segments, polygons, and fraction texts. Finally, construct polygons and fraction texts to represent the addition result based on the input values.
