AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a right triangle with one leg length and the hypotenuse length randomly generated. Use sine and cosine functions to calculate the degree of the other acute angle and ensure the angles and side lengths meet the properties of a right triangle. Then, construct a rotated triangle with one right angle and a randomly generated side length. Finally, construct a line segment perpendicular to a given line, ensuring its length meets the given conditions.
