AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rectangle and demonstrate that its diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other and congruent. Start by drawing one side of the rectangle, then rotate this side 90 degrees around one endpoint to form the adjacent side. Next, draw the perpendicular bisectors of these two sides and find their intersection point. Connect this point to the opposite vertices of the rectangle to form the diagonals. Finally, verify that the diagonals bisect each other and are equal in length, and label the angle formed at the intersection of the diagonals.
