AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Construct a visual area-model setup for solving square-root equations: draw two square regions of the same style—one main square representing the solution area with its side length tied to a variable, and a second square as the hint/background area with side length matching a hint value. Place a small horizontal baseline segment with evenly spaced ticks near the hint square, and add a dynamic text element over/near the hint square to display the current hint number. Provide a draggable reference point that indicates how the side length changes, and highlight that point with a pulsing circle for interaction emphasis. Finally, position the hint text near the center of the hint square so the composition is readable and balanced.
