AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a triangle and dynamically explore its area. Start by creating the triangle's vertices and sides, then use rotations and angle calculations to find new points and rays. Locate intersection points and construct auxiliary shapes using midpoints and perpendicular lines. Draw parallel and orthogonal lines to find key points, connecting them to form polygons. Finally, demonstrate the area formula application through dilation and rotation, emphasizing key geometric relationships with circles and segments.
