AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a right triangle and construct a semicircle on its hypotenuse with the right angle as the center. Mark a point on the semicircle, connect it to the right angle, and draw a perpendicular line to the hypotenuse. Construct two equal circles centered at the right angle and the intersection point, and find their intersection. Also, construct two equal circles with the hypotenuse as the diameter, and find their intersection. Connect these points to illustrate the geometric mean in right triangles.
