Construct the inscribed or circumscribed circle of a triangle (Tutorial Only)
Construct the inscribed or circumscribed circle of a triangle (Tutorial Only)
What you'll learn
- Apply geometric construction techniques with a compass and straightedge to accurately construct the inscribed circle of at least 3 different types of triangles (acute, obtuse, right).
- Apply geometric construction techniques with a compass and straightedge to accurately construct the circumscribed circle of at least 3 different types of triangles (acute, obtuse, right).
- Explain the relationship between the incenter and the inscribed circle, specifically defining the incenter as the intersection of angle bisectors and the radius as the perpendicular distance from the incenter to a side of the triangle.
- Explain the relationship between the circumcenter and the circumscribed circle, specifically defining the circumcenter as the intersection of perpendicular bisectors and the radius as the distance from the circumcenter to a vertex of the triangle.
