AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw the net of a square pyramid, showing its surface area formula. Start with a square base, then rotate one of its sides to draw four isosceles triangles, maintaining the correct angle and proportion for the sides. Connect all shapes to form the net, highlighting the relationship between the base and the triangular faces.
