Here you will learn section formula in 3d for both internal and external division with examples.<\/p>\n

For distance formula and section formula in 2d for internal and external division see this What is the Section Formula | Distance Formula in 2d.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s begin –<\/p>\n

Section Formula in 3d<\/h2>\n

(a) Internal Division<\/h3>\n

Let P\\((x_1, y_1, z_1)\\) and Q\\((x_2, y_2, z_2)\\) be two points. Let R be a point on the line segment joining P and Q such that it divides the join of P and Q internally in the ratio \\(m_1\\) : \\(m_2\\). Then, the coordinates of R are<\/p>\n

\n

(\\(m_1x_2 + m_2x_1\\over m_1 + m_2\\), \\(m_1y_2 + m_2y_1\\over m_1 + m_2\\), \\(m_1z_2 + m_2z_1\\over m_1 + m_2\\))<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

corollary : <\/strong>If R is the mid point of the segment joining P\\((x_1, y_1, z_1)\\) and Q\\((x_2, y_2, z_2)\\), then \\(m_1\\) = \\(m_2\\) = 1 and the coordinates of R are given by<\/p>\n

\n

(\\(x_1 + x_2\\over 2\\), \\(y_1 + y_2\\over 2\\), \\(z_1 + z_2\\over 2\\))<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(b) External Division<\/h3>\n

Let P\\((x_1, y_1, z_1)\\) and Q\\((x_2, y_2, z_2)\\) be two points. Let R be a point on PQ produced dividing it externally in the ratio \\(m_1\\) : \\(m_2\\) (\\(m_1\\) \\(\\ne\\) \\(m_2\\)). Then, the coordinates of R are<\/p>\n

\n

(\\(m_1x_2 – m_2x_1\\over m_1 – m_2\\), \\(m_1y_2 – m_2y_1\\over m_1 – m_2\\), \\(m_1z_2 – m_2z_1\\over m_1 – m_2\\))<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Example<\/span><\/strong> : Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of P(2, -1, 4) and Q(4, 3, 2) in the ratio 2 : 3 (i) internally (ii) externally.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/span><\/strong> : Let R (x, y, z) be the required point. then,<\/p>\n

(i) Internally,<\/strong><\/p>\n

x = \\(2\\times 4 + 3\\times 2\\over 2 + 3\\), y = \\(2\\times 3 + 3\\times -1\\over 2 + 3\\), z = \\(2\\times 2 + 3\\times 4\\over 2 + 3\\)<\/p>\n

\\(\\implies\\) x = \\(14\\over 5\\), y = \\(3\\over 5\\), z = \\(16\\over 5\\)<\/p>\n

So, the coordinates of the required point R are (\\(14\\over 5\\), \\(3\\over 5\\), \\(16\\over 5\\)).<\/p>\n

(ii) Externally, <\/strong><\/p>\n

x = \\(2\\times 4 – 3\\times 2\\over 2 – 3\\), y = \\(2\\times 3 – 3\\times -1\\over 2 – 3\\), z = \\(2\\times 2 – 3\\times 4\\over 2 – 3\\)<\/p>\n

\\(\\implies\\) x = -2, y = -9, z = 8<\/p>\n

So, the coordinates of the required point R are (-2, -9, 8).<\/p>\n\n\n
