Q01. Diagram
Go to Begin
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
