The correct Answer is:
To determine where the incenter of a triangle lies, we need to analyze the properties of the incenter in relation to different types of triangles. The incenter is the point where the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect, and it is equidistant from all three sides of the triangle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Incenter**: - The incenter of a triangle is defined as the point where the three angle bisectors of the triangle intersect. It is denoted as point 'I'. - The incenter is always located inside the triangle, regardless of the type of triangle. 2. **Analyzing Different Types of Triangles**: - **Isosceles Triangle**: - Draw an isosceles triangle ABC, where AB = AC. - Construct the angle bisectors from each vertex (A, B, and C). - The intersection point of these angle bisectors (I) will be inside the triangle. 3. **Right Angle Triangle**: - Draw a right triangle, say triangle DEF, where angle D is the right angle. - Again, construct the angle bisectors from each vertex (D, E, and F). - The incenter (I) will also lie inside this triangle. 4. **Equilateral Triangle**: - Draw an equilateral triangle GHI, where all sides are equal. - Construct the angle bisectors from each vertex (G, H, and I). - The incenter (I) will be at the center of the triangle, thus also inside. 5. **Conclusion**: - From the analysis of the isosceles triangle, right triangle, and equilateral triangle, we can conclude that the incenter lies within the interior of all types of triangles. - Therefore, the answer to the question is that the incenter of a triangle lies in the interior of **any triangle**. ### Final Answer: The incenter of a triangle lies in the interior of **any triangle**.
