AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two parallel lines and plot a point, segment, and triangle on the first line. Reflect these objects across the first line to show the transformation, then reflect them across the second line. From a point on the first line, draw a perpendicular line to the second line, intersecting it at a point. Draw a circle centered at this point with a given radius, intersecting the perpendicular line at two points. Connect these points and find their midpoint. Finally, translate the triangle along the perpendicular direction by the distance to this midpoint to create a new triangle.
