Incenter


Consider what happens with the position of the incenter when the triangle is right, obtuse, or equilateral.

Location for right triangles:
When the triangle is right, the incenter is inside the triangle.


Location for obtuse triangles:
When the triangle is obtuse, the point that is equidistant from the sides is inside the triangle.


Location for equilateral triangles:
When the triangle is equilateral, the incenter is located at the same position as the centroid, circumcenter, and incenter.


The location of the incenter will always be inside the triangle.
