AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a unit circle centered at the origin with horizontal and vertical axes passing through the center. Take a point on the horizontal axis and rotate it around the center by an angle determined by a parameter. Connect the center to the resulting point on the circle, then draw a perpendicular line from that point to the horizontal axis, forming a triangle. This construction demonstrates the geometric interpretation of sine and cosine functions through projections onto the axes, illustrating trigonometric periodicity and phase relationships.
