True, well, throughout my academic life I have solved quite a lot of difficult problems and I went a long way solving them and took long steps. However, I remember one time during my preparation for exam I saw one question in the math section. This was during my SATs and it was a geometric question in model 2. As I remember it was the last question on the practice test, so I was confident enough to finish it. However, as soon as I read the question and began solving it, I noticed that it isn’t as easy as I expected it to be. First, I plugged it into the Desmos calculator. However, I started to realize that it’s impossible to solve this question using the Desmos calculator. So I decided to search up for geometrical rules of circle and triangle. First, I decided to find the circumference of the circle and then slowly get to find the height of the triangle inside of that is inscribed in the circle. Slowly after finding few sides of the triangle, I plugged in the Pythagorean theorem and began to notice that it’s getting easier and easier and I’m slowly finding the correct way. I ended up finding the correct answer and the result was successful. checking the exam, it came out as correct and I was really proud of myself when this came out as correct. My math isn’t really that good and it took me quite a lot of time to solve this question, so it was a really a stressing process. However, in the end I was able to achieve what I wanted.
