AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle with three vertices. Choose a point inside the triangle and connect it to each vertex, extending these lines to intersect the opposite sides, creating three intersection points. Use these points to form an inner triangle and display its perimeter. Also mark the centroid, circumcenter, orthocenter, and incenter of the original triangle. Draw a segment from the orthocenter to the interior point. Construct two perpendicular lines, each through a vertex and perpendicular to the opposite side, and find the midpoint between the orthocenter and circumcenter.
