    The reason is explained below.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Partition means to separate or to divide. A line segment can be partitioned into smaller segments which are compared as ratios.

    The ratio of 1:3 shows that the segment will actually be divided into 4 equal sections and finding half the length of the directed line segment implies that the line segment divides in the ratio 1:1 i. e the segment will actually be divided into 2 equal sections.

    Hence, partitioning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:3 is not the same as finding half the length of the directed line segment
