AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two similar right triangles, with one triangle having legs of length 2 and 2. The other triangle is obtained by scaling the first one. Use the properties of triangle medians, coordinate systems, and circles to demonstrate the proportional relationships between corresponding sides of similar triangles. First, draw the x-axis, then draw three horizontal lines parallel to the x-axis, and finally draw a sine curve f(x) = a * sin(b * x) with a and b both set to 2.
