AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle and its three angle bisectors, marking their intersection as the incenter. Draw a circle centered at the incenter passing through the triangle's vertices. Then, draw the three medians of the triangle, marking their intersection as the centroid. Finally, draw the three altitudes, marking their intersection as the orthocenter. Label the incenter, centroid, and orthocenter, and show their relationships to the triangle.
