AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle and label its three interior angles. Construct the perpendicular bisectors of each side by drawing circles centered at pairs of vertices with radii equal to the side lengths, and find the midpoints of the sides. Connect each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side to form the three medians, which intersect at the centroid. Then, construct the altitudes by drawing circles centered at pairs of vertices with radii equal to the side lengths, and find the feet of the altitudes. The three altitudes intersect at the orthocenter. Finally, mark the centroid and orthocenter, and display relevant angles.
