AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a right triangle with three polygons to illustrate the Pythagorean theorem. Start by drawing the two legs of the right triangle, then draw perpendicular lines from the right angle vertex to one leg, forming three polygons. Label the lengths of the sides and show the relationship between the hypotenuse and the sides of the smaller polygons to prove the Pythagorean theorem.
