AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle and demonstrate various methods to calculate its area. Start by drawing one side of the triangle, then find the perpendicular bisector of this side and mark a point on it. Connect this point to the opposite vertex and draw a perpendicular line. Using these segments, construct two smaller triangles and calculate their areas. Additionally, draw the medians and angle bisectors of the triangle, showing their relationships with area calculations. Finally, use rotations and symmetry to further illustrate the geometric properties of area calculations.
