# Formula for Circumcenter of a Triangle | Incenter of Triangle

Here, you will learn formula for circumcenter of a triangle and formula for incenter of a triangle.

Let’s begin –

## Formula for Circumcenter of a Triangle

It is the point of intersection of perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle. If O is the circumcenter of any triangle ABC, then $$OA^2$$ = $$OB^2$$ = $$OC^2$$. Also it is the center of circle touching all the vertices of a triangle.

Note :

(i)  If the triangle is right angled, then its circumcenter is the mid-point of the hypotenuse.

(iii)  The Co-ordinates of circumcenter is :

Circumcenter = ($$x_1sin2A+x_2sin2B+x_3sin2C\over {sin2A+sin2B+sin2C}$$,$$y_1sin2A+y_2sin2B+y_3sin2C\over {sin2A+sin2B+sin2C}$$)

## Incenter of a Triangle

The incenter is the point of intersection of internal bisectors of the angles of a triangle. Also it is a centre of the circle touching all the sides of the triangle.

Co-ordinates of incenter I is ($$ax_1+bx_2+cx_3\over {a+b+c}$$,$$ay_1+by_2+cy_3\over {a+b+c}$$) where a,b,c are the sides of the triangle ABC.

Note :

(i)  Angle bisector divides the opposite sides in the ratio of remaining sides e.g. $$BD\over DC$$ = $$AB\over AC$$ = $$c\over b$$

(ii)  Incenter divides the angle bisectors in the ratio (b+c) : a, (c+a) : b, (a+b) : c.

Remarks :

(i)  If the triangle is equilateral, then centroid, incentre, orthocenter, circumcenter coincide.

(ii)  Orthocenter, centroid and circumcenter are always collinear and centroid divides the line joining orthocenter and circumcenter in the ratio 2 : 1.

(iii)  In an isosceles triangle centroid, incenter, orthocenter and circumcenter lie on the same line.
