AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw two similar triangles, triangle ABC and triangle PQR. Start by drawing line segments BC and QR. Then, using rotation and angle construction, obtain the corresponding sides and angles of triangles ABC and PQR. Next, construct the other sides of the triangles through intersection points. Finally, calculate and mark the areas of the two triangles to compare their area ratios.
