AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two similar quadrilaterals, one with points B', B, B''', B'', and the other with points D', D, D''', D''. Rotate these points and connect them to form the quadrilaterals. Calculate and display the areas and perimeters of the two quadrilaterals to observe the relationship between the areas and perimeters of similar quadrilaterals.
