AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rotating surface to demonstrate the geometric solid formed by rotating a curve around an axis, labeling key points and segments. Start by creating the surface of revolution, then mark a point on the curve and two points on the rotation axis, connecting these points to form a segment. Next, draw a perpendicular line from the curve point to the axis, and connect the foot of this perpendicular to a corresponding point on the surface to illustrate the principle of surface area calculation.
