incenter is equidistant from the angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The incenter is the center point of a circle that is inscribed in the triangle. That means the circle touches each of the three side, and the incenter is by definition one radius away from each of the sides. The incenter is NOT equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. So the answer is TRUE. See here for a diagram & definition: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/incenter

The incenter of a triangle is the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of the triangle. It always lies inside of the triangle, and the incenter is equidistant from the sides of the triangle. so the answer is true.++ If you have a textbook, look up incenter in the index.
