Question

Can someone explain to me how to find the incenter of a triangle? im soooo confused on how to do that..:(

Answer 1

Are you using a compass?

Answer 2

ummm do u need a compass?

Answer 3

That's the easiest way. An Incenter is where a triangle’s three angle bisectors intersect (an angle bisector is a ray that cuts an angle in half). So, you'll need to draw a ray for each angle that cuts it in half. Where these all intersect is the incenter.

Answer 4

lolly try this http://www.mathopenref.com/constincenter.html

Answer 5

does that help

Answer 6

how do you find the angle bisector?

Answer 7

ive done tha b 4 hold on

Answer 8

it would if i was trying to find the circumcircle..:) but im not...

Answer 9

i dont think...?

Answer 10

Its a ray that cuts the angle in half. So if you have a 90 degree angle, the bisector is a ray at 45 degrees.

Answer 11

oooh!! ok then what do you do next?

Answer 12

You draw a ray for all 3 angle bisectors. The point that all 3 cross is the incenter.

Answer 13

oooh!! ok that makes sense:) thank you soooo much!!

Answer 14

seee if its ur question

Answer 15

No problem. :] do you need to find the coordinates?

Answer 16

urrrmmm..i dont think sooo...i just needed to find a point where its the same distant from all the corners..

Answer 17

Then you should be fine :]

Answer 18

yey! thanks again:)
