Multi-Modal Large Language Models (MM-LLMs) have demonstrated powerful reasoning abilities in various visual question-answering tasks. However, they face the challenge of lacking rigorous reasoning and precise arithmetic, when solving geometry questions. To address this challenge, we propose a novel prompting method, namely Reason-and-Execute (R&E), to enhance the accuracy of solving geometry questions by MM-LLMs. Specifically, the R&E method includes two templates: reasoning template and execution template. We first adopt a reverse-thinking approach to construct a rigorous reasoning template so that it guides MM-LLMs to start reasoning from the most relevant domain knowledge of the question and ultimately identify the arithmetic requirements. We then make use of program-assisted thought to construct execution template in order to guide MM-LLMs to understand the arithmetic requirements from reasoning template and generate executable code block. The answer is finally obtained by executing the code block. We evaluate our prompting method on 9 models in answering questions on 6 datasets (including four geometry datasets and two science datasets) compared to Chain-of-Thought (CoT) and Program-Aided Language (PAL) prompting methods. R&E method shows up to 12.8% improvement compared to CoT and PAL, proving strong reasoning and arithmetic abilities for solving geometry questions of our method. Moreover, we further analyze the answering accuracy from the different perspectives on solving geometric questions, including domain knowledge, geometry shapes, question length, and language. Through multiple analysis, our method is able to enhance the ability of MM-LLMs to solve geometry questions.
