The three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle are concurrent. Point of concurrency is called circumcenter. The circumcenter of a triangle is equidistant from the vertices and is the center of the circle.
The circumcenter of a triangle can be inside, on , or outside a triangle.
The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle is called the incenterof the triangle. p. 305: 7, 8, 9, 15, 17, 37, 38 The bisectors of the angles of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the sides of the triangle. P is the center of the circle that is inscribed in the triangle.
