Let A(1,0), B(6,2) and C(3/2, 6) be the vertices of a triangle ABC. If P is a point inside the triangle ABC such that the triangles APC, APB and BPC have equal areas, then the length of the line segment PQ, where Q is the point (-7/6, -1/3) is

    P will be the centroid of triangle ABC.
    The centroid P is (x? +x? +x? )/3, (y? +y? +y? )/3).
    The coordinates of P are given as (17/6, 8/3).
    The coordinates of Q are not given, but a calculation is shown.
    PQ = √ (24/6)² + (9/3)²) = √ (4² + 3²) = √ (16+9) = √25 = 5.
    This implies the coordinates of Q are such that the difference in coordinates with P leads to this result. For example if P= (x? , y? ) and Q= (x? , y? ), then x? -x? =4 and y? -y? =3.

Given | a | = 1 , | b | = 4 , a b = 2

c = 2 ( a × b ) 3 b  

Dot product with  a on both sides

c a = 6 ... (1)

Dot product with  b  on both sides

b c = 4 8 ... (2)

c c = 4 | a × b | 2 + 9 | b | 2

| c | 2 = 4 [ | a | 2 | b | 2 ( a b ) 2 ] + 9 | b | 2

| c | 2 = 4 [ ( 1 ) ( 4 ) 2 ( 4 ) ] + 9 ( 1 6 )

| c | 2 = 4 [ 1 2 ] + 1 4 4

| c | 2 = 4 8 + 1 4 4

| c | 2 = 1 9 2

c o s θ = b c | b | | c |

c o s θ = 4 8 1 9 2 4

c o s θ = 4 8 8 3 4

c o s θ = 3 2 3

(a – 1) × 2 + (b – 2) × 5 + (g – 3) × 1 = 0

2a + 5b + g – 15 = 0

Also, P lie on line

a + 1 = 2λ

b – 2 = 5λ

g – 4 = λ

2 (2λ – 1) + 5 (5λ + 2) + λ + 4 – 15 = 0

4λ + 25λ + λ – 2 + 10 + 4 – 15 = 0

30λ – 3 = 0

λ = 1 1 0  

a + b + g = (2λ – 1) + (5λ + 2) + (λ + 4)

= 8 λ + 5 = 8 1 0 + 5 = 5 . 8

x = 2λ + 1, y = 3λ + 2, z = 4λ + 3

  A B  = (α − 2)  i ^ + (β − 3) j ^ + (γ − 4) k ^  

Now,

(α − 2)  2 + (β − 3) 3 + (γ − 4) 4 = 0

2α − 4 + 3β − 9 + 4γ −16 = 0
