  3. OrthogonalLine(D, f) → g
  4. Point(g) → F
  5. Polygon(D, E, F) → t2, f_1, d, e
  6. Angle(C, B, A) → α
  7. Angle(E, D, F) → β
  8. Angle(A, C, B) → γ
  9. Angle(F, E, D) → δ
  10. Textfield(f) → InputBox1
  11. Textfield(d) → InputBox2
  12. Textfield(a) → InputBox3
  13. Textfield(b) → InputBox4

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
