The INCENTER|dw:1340979340065:dw| of a triangle is defined as the mutual intersection point of the three ANGULAR BISECTORS of a triangle.

AND. The INCIRCLE. 
The *incircle* of a triangle is a circle with its center at the the 'incenter', such that the 3 sides of the triangle are tangential to it.
(The shortest distance between the incenter and the sides is called the INRADIUS)
