The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the properties of an equilateral triangle, we will analyze the positions of the incenter, circumcenter, orthocenter, and centroid step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle**: - An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal and all three angles equal (each measuring 60 degrees). - Let's denote the vertices of the triangle as \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). 2. **Identifying Key Points**: - **Incenter**: The point where the angle bisectors of the triangle intersect. It is also the center of the inscribed circle. - **Circumcenter**: The point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides intersect. It is the center of the circumscribed circle. - **Orthocenter**: The point where the altitudes of the triangle intersect. - **Centroid**: The point where the medians of the triangle intersect. 3. **Properties of Equilateral Triangle**: - In an equilateral triangle, the incenter, circumcenter, orthocenter, and centroid all coincide at the same point. This is because: - The angle bisectors, medians, and altitudes are all the same lines due to the symmetry of the triangle. - Therefore, all four points are located at the same position. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since all four points (incenter, circumcenter, orthocenter, and centroid) coincide, the answer to the question is that they are "coincident". ### Final Answer: The incenter, circumcenter, orthocenter, and centroid of an equilateral triangle are coincident. ---
