AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a hexagonal pyramid with a base as a regular hexagon and a surface area of 150 square centimeters. Start by taking a point B on a circle and connecting it to A to form one side. Construct a regular hexagon ABFGCDE. Then, draw the perpendicular bisector of FG and intersect it at point G. With G as the center and a radius of (150 - hexagon area) / (3 * AB), draw a circle and find its intersection with the bisector at point H. Connect HE and rotate to form the other sides. Adjust the apex position to ensure the correct surface area.
