AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Illustrate a sphere in 3D space and its relationship with the coordinate plane. Construct geometric structures like points, lines, polygons, and circles related to the sphere, including a perpendicular line from the center, intersection points, and a polygon. Perform scaling and connecting operations on these elements to form multiple line segments and new polygons, ultimately demonstrating mathematical concepts such as the sphere's equation, surface, and optimization problems.
