Currently, we are observing a lot of new phenomena occurring in the environment around us. These phenomena require any person to have new qualities. First of all, society needs people who think outside the box, make decisions based on their own thinking and offer new initiatives. Such qualities can be formed in math lessons or in extracurricular time, solving
problems. In a geometry textbook, the solution of geometric problems is often based on a standard algorithm. This algorithm can be difficult for students.
Therefore, it is necessary to find the optimal method in search of other different ways to solve geometric problems. In this article, we will find the optimal
method by describing several methods for solving a single geometric problem. Solving a geometric problem by various methods deepens students' mathematical knowledge and develops creative abilities.
