AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a geometric figure to demonstrate how to solve multiplication equations using scales. The figure includes a rectangular frame at the bottom with three different-sized rectangles on top, representing the scales. On both sides, there are movable arms with circular decorations connected to pillars, which support trays at the bottom for placing the scales. The entire figure visually illustrates the solution to multiplication equations through geometric shapes, suitable for middle school and above students to understand the relationship between scales and multiplication.
