AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle and illustrate its three altitudes. Start by constructing a triangle, then draw perpendicular lines from each vertex to the opposite side to find the feet of the altitudes. Rotate and construct auxiliary lines to form three congruent smaller triangles. Label key angles and segments, highlighting the properties of triangle altitudes in the final diagram.
