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 = . External division: p = . Special cases: Midpoint (m=n=1): p = . Centroid of triangle with vertices a, b, c: g = . Incenter: r = where a, b, c are side lengths opposite to vertices A, B, C.
