AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a cuboid with input boxes for its length, width, and height, which dynamically adjusts the cuboid's size based on the inputs. Clearly show all six faces of the cuboid and label the length, width, and height. Calculate and display the total surface area of the cuboid, ensuring it matches the actual surface area. Finally, use auxiliary line segments and points to demonstrate the area calculation for each face, helping viewers understand how the total surface area is computed.
