The Incenter

We have also seen that the three bisectors of the angles of a triangle meet at a common point Q which is the center of the triangle's incircle:

 

 

This is true because points on an angle bisector are equidistant from the sides of the angle, so the intersection of any two angle bisectors will be equidistant from the three sides of the triangle.
