The mass points method is a technique that simplifies solving
problems involving ratios of line segments in a geometric
figure. When this method is used to solve the problem, it is much faster and
easier than other methods such as proportion relationship, auxiliary line drawing, or area addition. In many cases when you use this
method, you can explain your solution verbally without pen and paper.
