AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rectangle by first creating two perpendicular line segments as diagonals, then connect the intersection point with the endpoints to form the rectangle. Next, find the midpoint of the diagonals and draw line segments from the midpoint to each vertex. Measure and label the interior angles and the perpendicular bisectors of the sides. Finally, reflect the original rectangle over the perpendicular bisectors to create a second rectangle, completing the construction.
