To circumscribe a circle:
1) Draw perpendicular bisector of one SIDE of the triangle
2) Draw perpendicular bisector of another SIDE of the triangle
3) The center of the circle will be where the two side bisectors meet.
4) The radius of the circle will be the distance between the center and any one of the three vertices.

To inscribe a circle:
1) Draw an angle bisector of one ANGLE of the triangle
2) Draw an angle bisector of another ANGLE of the triangle
3) The center of the circle will be where the two angle bisectors meet.
4) Draw a perpendicular from the center to any one of the three sides.
5) The radius of the circle will be the distance between the center and where the perpendicular line meets the side.
