[[Image:Incircle and Excircles.svg|right|thumb|300px|A triangle (black) with incircle (blue), [[incenter]] (I), excircles (orange), excenters (J<sub>A</sub>,J<sub>B</sub>,J<sub>C</sub>), internal [[angle bisector]]s (red) and external angle bisectors (green)]]
If you would like use the '''MathML''' rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin/signup]]
In [[geometry]], the '''incircle''' or '''inscribed circle''' of a [[triangle]] is the largest [[circle]] contained in the triangle; it touches (is [[tangent]] to) the three sides. The center of the incircle is called the triangle's '''incenter'''.

An '''excircle''' or '''escribed circle''' of the triangle is a circle lying outside the triangle, tangent to one of its sides and tangent to the extensions of the other two.
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:
Every triangle has three distinct excircles, each tangent to one of the triangle's sides.


The center of the incircle can be found as the intersection of the three internal [[angle bisector]]s.
'''MathML'''
The center of an excircle is the intersection of the internal bisector of one angle and the external bisectors of the other two. Because the internal bisector of an angle is perpendicular to its external bisector, it follows that the center of the incircle together with the three excircle centers form an [[orthocentric system]].

== Relation to area of the triangle ==
'''source'''
The radii of the incircles and excircles are closely related to the [[area]] of the triangle.  Let ''A'' be the triangle's area and let ''a'', ''b'' and ''c'', be the lengths of its sides.  By [[Heron's formula]], the area of the triangle is

If you find any bugs, please report them at [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=Math&version=master&short_desc=Math-preview%20rendering%20problem Bugzilla], or write an email to math_bugs (at) ckurs (dot) de .

From these formulas one can see that the excircles are always larger than the incircle and that the largest excircle is the one tangent to the longest side and the smallest excircle is tangent to the shortest side. Further, combining these formulas with Heron's area formula yields:<ref>Baker, Marcus, "A collection of formulae for the area of a plane triangle," ''Annals of Mathematics'', part 1 in vol. 1(6), January 1885, 134-138.

== Nine-point circle and Feuerbach point ==
The circle tangent to all three of the excircles as well as the incircle is known as the [[nine-point circle]]. The point where the nine-point circle touches the incircle is known as the Feuerbach point.
 
== Gergonne triangle and point ==
[[Image:Intouch Triangle and Gergonne Point.svg|right|frame|200px|A triangle, Δ''ABC'', with incircle (blue), incenter (blue, ''I''), contact triangle (red, Δ''T''<sub>''a''</sub>''T''<sub>''b''</sub>''T''<sub>''c''</sub>) and Gergonne point (green, Ge)]]
 
The '''Gergonne triangle'''(of ''ABC'') is defined by the 3 touchpoints of the incircle on the 3 sides.
Those vertices are denoted as ''T<sub>A</sub>'', etc.
The point that ''T<sub>A</sub>'' denotes, lies opposite to ''A''.
 
This '''Gergonne triangle''' ''T<sub>A</sub>T<sub>B</sub>T<sub>C</sub>'' is also known as the '''contact triangle''' or '''intouch triangle''' of ''ABC''.
 
The three lines ''AT<sub>A</sub>'', ''BT<sub>B</sub>'' and ''CT<sub>C</sub>'' intersect in a single point called '''Gergonne point''', denoted as ''Ge'' - [[Triangle center|''X(7)'']].
 
Interestingly, the Gergonne point of a triangle is the [[symmedian point]] of the Gergonne triangle. For a full set of properties of the Gergonne point see.<ref>{{Cite journal

The touchpoints of the three excircles with segments ''BC,CA and AB'' are the vertices of the [[extouch triangle]].  The points of intersection of the interior angle bisectors of ''ABC'' with the segments ''BC,CA,AB'' are the vertices of the '''incentral triangle'''.
 
== Nagel triangle and point ==
The '''Nagel triangle''' of ''ABC'' is denoted by the vertices ''X<sub>A</sub>'', ''X<sub>B</sub>'' and ''X<sub>C</sub>'' that are the three points where the excircles touch the reference triangle ''ABC'' and where ''X<sub>A</sub>'' is opposite of ''A'', etc. This triangle ''X<sub>A</sub>X<sub>B</sub>X<sub>C</sub>'' is also known as the '''extouch triangle''' of ''ABC''.  The circumcircle of the extouch triangle ''X<sub>A</sub>X<sub>B</sub>X<sub>C</sub>'' is called the '''Mandart circle'''.  The three lines ''AX<sub>A</sub>'', ''BX<sub>B</sub>'' and ''CX<sub>C</sub>'' are called the [[Splitter (geometry)|splitters]] of the triangle; they each bisect the perimeter of the triangle, and they intersect in a single point, the triangle's [[Nagel point]] ''Na'' - [[Triangle center|''X(8)'']].
 
[[Trilinear coordinates]] for the vertices of the intouch triangle are given by
*<math> A-\text{vertex}= 0 : \sec^2 \left(\frac{B}{2}\right) :\sec^2\left(\frac{C}{2}\right)</math>
*<math> B-\text{vertex}= \sec^2 \left(\frac{A}{2}\right):0:\sec^2\left(\frac{C}{2}\right)</math>
*<math> C-\text{vertex}= \sec^2 \left(\frac{A}{2}\right) :\sec^2\left(\frac{B}{2}\right):0</math>
 
Trilinear coordinates for the vertices of the extouch triangle are given by
* <math> A-\text{vertex} = 0 : \csc^2\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) : \csc^2\left(\frac{C}{2}\right)</math>
* <math> B-\text{vertex} = \csc^2\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) : 0 : \csc^2\left(\frac{C}{2}\right)</math>
* <math> C-\text{vertex} = \csc^2\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) : \csc^2\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) : 0</math>
 
Trilinear coordinates for the vertices of the incentral triangle are given by
* <math>\ A-\text{vertex} = 0 : 1 : 1</math>
* <math>\ B-\text{vertex} = 1 : 0 : 1</math>
* <math>\ C-\text{vertex} = 1 : 1 : 0</math>
 
Trilinear coordinates for the vertices of the excentral triangle are given by
* <math>\ A-\text{vertex}= -1 : 1 : 1 </math>
* <math>\ B-\text{vertex}= 1 : -1 : 1 </math>
* <math>\ C-\text{vertex}= 1 : -1 : -1 </math>
 
Trilinear coordinates for the Gergonne point are given by
: <math>\sec^2\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) : \sec^2 \left(\frac{B}{2}\right) : \sec^2\left(\frac{C}{2}\right)</math>,
 
or, equivalently, by the [[Law of Sines]],
: <math>\frac{bc}{b+ c - a} : \frac{ca}{c + a-b} : \frac{ab}{a+b-c}</math>.
 
Trilinear coordinates for the Nagel point are given by
: <math>\csc^2\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) : \csc^2 \left(\frac{B}{2}\right) : \csc^2\left(\frac{C}{2}\right)</math>,
 
or, equivalently, by the [[Law of Sines]],
: <math>\frac{b+ c - a}{a} : \frac{c + a-b}{b} : \frac{a+b-c}{c}</math>.
 
It is the isotomic conjugate of the Gergonne point.
 
==Coordinates of the incenter==
The [[Cartesian coordinates]] of the incenter are a weighted average of the coordinates of the three vertices using the side lengths of the triangle as weights.  (The weights are positive so the incenter lies inside the triangle as stated above.)  If the three vertices are located at <math>(x_a,y_a)</math>, <math>(x_b,y_b)</math>, and <math>(x_c,y_c)</math>, and the sides opposite these vertices have corresponding lengths <math>a</math>, <math>b</math>, and <math>c</math>, then the incenter is at
:<math>\bigg(\frac{a x_a+b x_b+c x_c}{P},\frac{a y_a+b y_b+c y_c}{P}\bigg) = \frac{a(x_a,y_a)+b(x_b,y_b)+c(x_c,y_c)}{P}</math>
where <math>\ P = a + b + c.</math>
 
[[Trilinear coordinates]] for the incenter are given by
:<math>\ 1 : 1 : 1.</math>
[[Barycentric coordinates (mathematics)|Barycentric coordinates]] for the incenter are given by
:<math>\ a : b : c</math>
 
or equivalently
 
:<math>\sin(A):\sin(B):\sin(C).</math>
 
==Equations for four circles==
Let x : y : z be a variable point in [[trilinear coordinates]], and let u = cos<sup>''2''</sup>''(A/2)'', v = cos<sup>''2''</sup>''(B/2)'', w = cos<sup>''2''</sup>''(C/2)''. The four circles described above are given by these equations:
:* Incircle:
::<math>\ u^2x^2+v^2y^2+w^2z^2-2vwyz-2wuzx-2uvxy=0</math>
:* ''A-''excircle:
::<math>\ u^2x^2+v^2y^2+w^2z^2-2vwyz+2wuzx+2uvxy=0</math>
:* ''B-''excircle:
::<math>\ u^2x^2+v^2y^2+w^2z^2+2vwyz-2wuzx+2uvxy=0</math>
:* ''C-''excircle:
::<math>\ u^2x^2+v^2y^2+w^2z^2+2vwyz+2wuzx-2uvxy=0</math>
 
==Euler's theorem==
[[Euler's theorem in geometry|Euler's theorem]] states that in a triangle:
:<math>(R-r_{in})^2=d^2+r_{in}^2,</math>
where ''R'' and ''r''<sub>''in''</sub> are the circumradius and inradius respectively, and ''d'' is the distance between the circumcenter and the incenter.
 
For excircles the equation is similar:
:<math>(R+r_{ex})^2=d^2+r_{ex}^2,</math>
where ''r''<sub>''ex''</sub> is the radius one of the excircles, and ''d'' is the distance between the circumcenter and this excircle's center.

==Other incircle properties==
Suppose the tangency points of the incircle divide the sides into lengths of ''x'' and ''y'', ''y'' and ''z'', and ''z'' and ''x''.  Then the incircle has the radius<ref>Chu, Thomas, ''The Pentagon'', Spring 2005, p. 45, problem 584.</ref>

:<math>K=\sqrt{xyz(x+y+z)}.</math>
 
If the altitudes from sides of lengths ''a'', ''b'', and ''c'' are ''h<sub>a</sub>'', ''h<sub>b</sub>'', and ''h<sub>c</sub>'' then the inradius ''r'' is one-third of the harmonic mean of these altitudes, i.e.
 
:<math> r = \frac{1}{h_a^{-1}+h_b^{-1}+h_c^{-1}}.</math>

Any line through a triangle that splits both the triangle's area and its perimeter in half goes through the triangle's incenter (the center of its incircle).

Denoting the distance from the incenter to the Euler line as ''d'', the length of the longest median as ''v'', the length of the longest side as ''u'', and the semiperimeter as ''s'', the following inequalities hold:<ref name=Franzsen/>

==Incircle in a quadrilateral==
Some (but not all) [[quadrilateral]]s have an incircle. These are called [[tangential quadrilateral]]s. Among their many properties perhaps the most important is that their opposite sides have equal sums. This is called the [[Pitot theorem]].
