Section Formula and Division of Line Segments

by Notetube Official76 words4 views

If a point P divides the line segment joining A (position vector a) and B (position vector b) in the ratio m:n, then: Internal division: p = mb+na(m+n)\frac{m**b** + n**a**}{(m+n)}. External division: p = mbna(mn)\frac{m**b** - n**a**}{(m-n)}. Special cases: Midpoint (m=n=1): p = a+b2\frac{**a**+**b**}{2}. Centroid of triangle with vertices a, b, c: g = a+b+c3\frac{**a**+**b**+**c**}{3}. Incenter: r = aA+bB+cC(a+b+c)\frac{a·**A** + b·**B** + c·**C**}{(a+b+c)} where a, b, c are side lengths opposite to vertices A, B, C.
