AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a regular pentagon and its circumcircle. Identify the midpoints of each side and vertex, then connect the midpoints of opposite sides to form perpendicular lines intersecting at the center of the pentagon. Construct a pyramid with the pentagon as the base and the center as the apex, then create and display the net of the pyramid. Place several points randomly on the faces of the net to highlight its geometric features.
