AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two similar triangles, triangle ABC and triangle DEF, where DEF is the mirror image of triangle FGH with point J on ray FG. Line b1 through points A and B intersects line c1 through points C and A at point T. Point D is on ray AC, and line e1 through points D and A intersects line b1 through points B and A at point T. Triangles ADE and FJI are similar, with point H' being the mirror image of point H through point F. Ray k through points F and H' intersects line i through points F and J at point R. Line t1 through points A and C intersects line c1 through points F and p at point S.
