    Q02. In-center

    Construction
    • Draw a triangle ABC
    • draw bisector of angle A
    • Draw bisector of angle B
    • Draw bisector of angle C
    • Bisectors are concurrent and meet at I which is the in-center
    Prove bisectors are concurrent
    • Let IP perpendicular to AB
    • Let IQ perpendicular to AC
    • Let IR perpendicular to BC
    • Since AI is angle bisector, hence IP = IQ
    • Since BI is angle bisector, hence IP = IR
    • Since IR = IQ, Hence CI is also angle bisector

    Q03. Locus of in-center

    Question
    • A and B are fixed
    • Angle ACB keeps constant if C moves
    • Find locus of in-center I
    Solution
    • Triangle ACP and BCP
      • Angle AIP = (angle A)/2 + (angle C)/2
      • Angle BIP = (angle B)/2 + (angle C)/2
    • Hence Angle AIB = angle AIP + angle BIP = (A + B + 2*C)/2
    • Since Angle A + B + C = pi
    • Hence Angle AIB = (pi + C)/2 = constant
    • Point A and B are constant.
    • Hence locus of I is arc AIB on circle
