AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a vector addition demonstration showing both triangle and parallelogram methods. Start with the intersection of coordinate axes, then create two rays and their corresponding points. Define two vectors and illustrate their sum using both methods. Label key angles and lengths, and display the geometric construction process involving vectors, segments, and angle measurements. Highlight the transformation and measurement steps in the construction.
