AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a right triangle with angle A as the right angle, angle B as 45 degrees, and angle C as 30 degrees. Construct the geometric representation of sin(75) and cos(75) through rotations and intersections. Start by drawing two rays AB and AC, then construct angles B and C through rotations, and finally use intersections and rays to construct the triangle's sides and angles, illustrating the geometric meaning of trigonometric functions.
