MASS POINT GEOMETRY TOM RIKE OAKLAND HIGH SCHOOL 1. Introduction 1.1. The power of the mass point technique. This session will introduce a technique that simplifies calculations of ratios in geometric figures in an intuitive way by merging algebra, geometry and basic physics. When the method can be applied, it is far faster than the standard techniques of vectors and area addition. The method is as simple as balancing a see-saw.
