Triangle/Angle bisectors/Intersecting point/Fact/Proof

< Triangle < Angle bisectors < Intersecting point < Fact
Proof

Due to fact, the angle bisector for consists of points that have the same distance to the line of the adjacent sides and . Accordingly, the angle bisector for consists of points that have the same distance to the lines and . Therefore, the intersecting point of these two angle bisectors has the same distance to all three sides.

In order to determine the coordinates, we write the angle bisector of as

that is,

Equating with the angle bisector of , we obtain

The solution is given by

and

because this gives, after inserting, the symmetric expression

This is also the intersecting point of all three angle bisectors.
