AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw six horizontal line segments labeled AB, CD, EF, GH, IJ, and KL. Find the midpoints M, N, and O of the first three segments AB, CD, and EF respectively, then draw segments from each endpoint to its midpoint, dividing each segment into two parts. On the remaining three segments GH, IJ, and KL, locate points P, Q, and R at approximately 0.52, 0.48, and 0.51 of the way from the first endpoint respectively, then draw segments from both endpoints to these points. Finally, display the measurements of the full length of EF, the distance from E to O, the full length of KL, and the distance from R to L alongside the figure.
