Answer 1

For future questions, please don't leave so much space between them. It makes it difficult to see them and answer.

The incenter is the intersection point of the 3 angle bisectors.

The circumcenter is the intersection point of the 3 perpendicular bisectors of the sides.

The orthocenter is the intersection point of the 3 altitudes.

The centroid is the intersection point of the 3 medians.

You trisect a segment by following the link: http://www.nvcc.edu/home/tstreilein/constructions/lines/line6.htm
