To find the point that is
the distance from the endpoint
of the segment with endpoints
and
, we can use the formula for finding a point that divides a line segment in a given ratio.The formula for finding a point that divides a line segment in the ratio
is:
In this case, we want to find the point that divides the line segment in the ratio
, since we want to find the point that is
the distance from the endpoint
.Let's plug in the values into the formula:
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Therefore, the point that is
the distance from the endpoint
of the segment with endpoints
and
is
.
