Where is the incenter located to the triangle?

Parth (parthkohli):

It is NOT necessary that the incenter is located in the center of the triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then where is it?

|dw:1347137527133:dw|

Parth (parthkohli):

Center of the circle inscribed in the triangle.

Parth (parthkohli):

... where the circle touches the boundary of a given triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the circle touches all three sides, then the center has to be one radius away from all three sides, so therefore it is equidistant from all three sides.

Parth (parthkohli):

Same pic ;P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth (parthkohli):

That's right. Steal @CliffSedge's explanation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so how can i put all that in a paragraph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess say a combination of everything Parth and I said, but in your own words and throw in whatever insights of your own that might spice it up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
