  1. In the diagram, Nis the incenter of ABC. Find ND. By the Concurrency of Angle Bisectors of a Triangle Theorem, the incenter Nis equidistant from the sides of ABC. So, to find ND, you can find NFin NAF. Use the Pythagorean Theorem stated on page 18. EXAMPLE 4 Use the concurrency of angle bisectors SOLUTION

  2. 2 2 2 c = a + b 400 = 2 NF + 256 2 144 = NF 12 = NF 2 2 2 20 = NF + 16 EXAMPLE 4 Use the concurrency of angle bisectors Pythagorean Theorem Substitute known values. Multiply. Subtract 256 from each side. Take the positive square root of each side. Because NF = ND, ND = 12.

  3. ANSWER 5 for Example 4 GUIDED PRACTICE WHAT IF? 5. In Example 4, suppose you are not given AF or AN, but you are given that BF = 12 and BN = 13. Find ND.
