AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a kite ABCE with A, B, and C forming an isosceles triangle where AB=AC and BC is the base. Then draw point D such that BD is parallel to AC and of equal length, and draw point E such that CE is parallel to AB and of equal length. Connect points A and E, B and D, C and E, E and F, F and C, F and A, and F and B. Finally, measure the lengths of the sides and angles to observe the properties of the kite.
