AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a pyramid with a quadrilateral base and triangular sides. Create a smaller pyramid below the main pyramid by intersecting a plane parallel to the base. Draw a line segment on the plane. Add a vector at the apex of the pyramid and rotate it 90 degrees to form a new pyramid. Include auxiliary line segments and points on the base and plane to illustrate the volume integration process.
