The point where the three angle bisectors of a triangle intersect is known as the **incenter**. The incenter is the center of the inscribed circle (incircle) of the triangle. This circle is tangent to each side of the triangle and touches the sides at their respective points of tangency.
To summarize:
- The **incenter** is the point of intersection of the angle bisectors of a triangle.
- It is denoted by the symbol **I**.
- The distance from the incenter to any side of the triangle is the radius of the incircle.
- The incenter is always located within the triangle.
The incenter can be found using the coordinates of the triangle's vertices \(A(x_1, y_1)\), \(B(x_2, y_2)\), and \(C(x_3, y_3)\), along with the lengths of the sides opposite these vertices \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\), respectively. The coordinates \( (I_x, I_y) \) of the incenter can be calculated using the following formula:
\[
I_x = \frac{a x_1 + b x_2 + c x_3}{a + b + c}
\]
\[
I_y = \frac{a y_1 + b y_2 + c y_3}{a + b + c}
\]
where \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are the lengths of the sides opposite vertices \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) respectively.
