AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two random triangles, then take three random points from the first triangle to form a third triangle. Scale and rotate the third triangle by a certain angle to get a fourth triangle. Find the range of x and y coordinates of the three vertices of the fourth triangle, and generate three new points within this range. Connect these points to form a new triangle, and calculate the sizes of the corresponding angles of all triangles. Finally, draw all four triangles together and label the sizes of the corresponding angles.
