AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a geometric figure with several similar triangles, focusing on angle relationships. Start with a horizontal baseline, pick two points on it, and connect them to a common vertex to form two sides. Construct a circle and a line parallel to the baseline, find their intersections, and connect them to make a balance segment. Then, place multiple quadrilateral regions, each containing a random point, and draw small circles around these points as markers. Finally, measure three key angles and display a comparison sign (greater than, less than, or equal) based on their values, to illustrate the angle relationships in similar triangles.
