In order to find the Circumcenter of a triangle, first find the three midpoints of the triangle and then use these midpoints to find the perpendicular bisectors of each side of the triangle. The intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors will be the Circumcenter. See the triangle XYZ below. The Circumcenter of a triangle is the center of the circumscribed circle of that triangle. See the triangle XYZ again below, displaying the Circumcenter, C, and the circumscribed circle. Oct 239:12 PM Incenter The Incenter of a triangle is the point on the interior of the triangle that is equidistant from the three sides. It can be found by bisecting all three of the angles within a triangle. The point of intersection of the three angle bisectors is called the Incenter. The Incenter is also the center of the inscribed circle of the triangle. See the triangle ABC below showing the 3 angle bisectors in orange and the Incenter, I. Also, the inscribed circle is shown in green.
