Question

What are the steps used to construct the incenter of a triangle?

Answer 1

1) Inscribe a circle that touches all three sides of the triangle.
2) Find the circle's center!

Answer 2

construct the bisector of each of the angles

Answer 3

how many steps are there?

Answer 4

Also, be careful that the circle just *touches*, and doesn't go out of the triangle, like in the following picture...

I always use the same picture. :P

Answer 5

I just to write all the steps down and thats it. for my teacher

Answer 6

i've learned something new ...

Answer 7

If you want it a little formal:
Also, be careful that the circle's edges are secant to all the sides of the triangle.

Answer 8

... or do I use the word "tangent" instead of "secant"?

Answer 9

tangent - though wouldn't it be bit tricky drawing this circle?

Answer 10

I want it in a series. such as
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Answer 11

so then I may write it in a prargraph.

Answer 12

Parthkholis method would work - mine would work also.
do you know how to bisect an angle with compass and ruler?

Answer 13

online yes and on paper

Answer 14

1. bisect first angle
2. bisect second angle
3 bisect third angle (they should intersect at one point if its done correctly)
4 the point of intersection is the incenter.

Answer 15

ok thank you so much
