The real problem is actually very simple. Mathematical modeling is different from elementary school mathematics. Modeling is mostly about extracting factors from text. Considering these factors, the mathematical formula is just a step to help you solve it.
For example: Do you think a stool with three corners is stable or a stool with four feet is stable? There is no mathematical pronunciation here, but to solve this problem, we can consider the flatness of the ground and start with the geometry of triangles and quadrangles. Of course, this is just a very simple question. If we consider different situations to solve this problem, the answer is different.
