AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a regular 3-sided truncated pyramid by first constructing triangle ABC, then creating the pyramid ABCD with a height of 10.15903525496227. Next, take points E, F, and G on edges BD, CD, and AD respectively, and draw triangle EFG. Then, draw the midpoints of triangles ABC, EFG, AEGB, AFGC, and BEFC, and their centroids' connecting lines. Finally, draw the polygons formed by these centroid lines.
