Circumcenter and incenter worksheet
Two circles belong to every triangle. One passes through all three corners and its center, the circumcenter, is where the perpendicular bisectors meet. The other sits inside touching all three sides, and its center, the incenter, is where the angle bisectors meet.
The preview can look cramped on a phone. The PDF and printed sheet come out normal.

How to do these
A right triangle has legs and and hypotenuse . Find the radius of its inscribed circle
- For a right triangle the inradius is the two legs minus the hypotenuse, halved.
- 3 plus 4 minus 5 is 2.
- Half of 2 is 1.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Mixing the two up. The circumcenter is equally far from the three corners and can sit outside the triangle; the incenter is equally far from the three sides and is always inside.
Also called circumcenter of a triangle, incenter, points of concurrency or circumscribed circle.
