Construct an inscribed circle in triangle PQR by finding the incenter of the triangle.

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

You need to know these construction techniques:

1. Bisect vertex angle P (as the problem statement tells you)

2. Bisect vertex angle R. This angle is chosen because it is the largest angle in the triangle. Any angle can be used, but the construction is likely to be more accurately done for larger angles.

3. The point where the angle bisectors cross is the incenter. Label that point A. It will be used as the "off-line point" for the next step.

4. Create a perpendicular to line PQ through the point A. PQ is chosen because it is the segment opposite the largest angle. This gives you the most room for the construction, so it can be done with best accuracy. Mark the the point of intersection of the perpendicular with PQ as point B.

5. Using AB as the radius, draw the incircle centered at A.

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
