AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a right-angled triangle to illustrate the relationships between sides and angles. The triangle is placed in a coordinate system with the right angle at the origin, and the legs extend along the x-axis and y-axis. The hypotenuse connects the endpoints of the legs. Calculate and label the right angle, acute angles, and obtuse angles to ensure the diagram is clear and understandable for students learning geometry and trigonometry.
