What exactly is the inscribed circle of a triangle? Where do I draw it?

Answer 1

The largest possible circle you can draw inside the triangle. Try this and you'll see a picture of it : http://www.mathwords.com/i/inscribed_circle.htm

Answer 2

The inscribed circle of a triangle (or incircle) is constructed inside the triangle.

The circle is tangent to all three sides of the triangle.

The center of the circle is at the intersection of the angle bisectors of the triangle.

Once the circle's center is found, drop a perpendicular from the center to one of the sides of the triangle. That is a point on the circle. So now you have your center and radius.

Construct the circle.

Answer 3

It's a perfect circle that fits inside the triangle. Find the midpoints of each side, then draw lines at right angles to said points, use the point where the lins intersect as a centrepoint for your circle.
