AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a polar area graph to demonstrate how to plot and calculate the area of specific regions using polar coordinate equations. Start by plotting the polar curve, then divide the area into sectors based on angles, representing each sector with a fan shape and labeling key angles and radii. Calculate the area of each sector and sum them to show the application of integration in area calculations, finally distinguishing the integral regions on both sides with different colors.
