AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw the nets of a prism and a pyramid, showing how they fold into solid shapes. Start by plotting the axes and finding their intersection, then draw rays and a circle from the intersection point. Rotate the resulting shape to create a polygon. Use this polygon to form a prism and a pyramid from a different vertex, then depict their nets to illustrate how they fold into three-dimensional figures, demonstrating Euler's formula in geometry.
