Question

Accepted Answer

### Question 1: Which property is true about the incenter of a triangle?
# Brief Explanations:
- Option a: The incenter is on angle bisectors, not always on altitudes.
- Option b: The circumcenter is equidistant from vertices, not the incenter.
- Option c: The centroid divides medians in a 2:1 ratio, not the incenter.
- Option d: The incenter is the intersection of angle bisectors, so it is equidistant from all sides (by the angle - bisector theorem, the distance from a point on an angle bisector to both sides of the angle is equal).
# Answer: d. It is equidistant from all sides

### Question 2: To construct the circumcenter of a triangle, you need to draw the:
# Brief Explanations:
- Option a: The circumcenter is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle.
- Option b: Angle bisectors are used to find the incenter.
- Option c: Medians are used to find the centroid.
- Option d: Altitudes are used to find the orthocenter.
# Answer: a. Perpendicular bisectors

### Question 3: What is an angle bisector?
# Brief Explanations:
- Option a: A line perpendicular to an angle is not an angle bisector.
- Option b: By definition, an angle bisector is a line or segment that divides an angle into two congruent (equal - measure) angles.
- Option c: This describes a perpendicular bisector of a segment, not an angle bisector.
- Option d: This describes a midline of a triangle, not an angle bisector.
# Answer: b. A line or segment that divides an angle into two congruent angles

### Question 4: Which of the following is not a method to construct the circumcenter?
# Brief Explanations:
- Option a: Medians are used to find the centroid, not the circumcenter.
- Option b: Constructing bisectors at right angles (perpendicular bisectors) is a way to find the circumcenter.
- Option c: Finding the mid - point of sides is part of constructing perpendicular bisectors (since a perpendicular bisector passes through the mid - point of a side), so it is related to finding the circumcenter.
- Option d: Using perpendicular bisectors is the standard way to find the circumcenter.
# Answer: a. Drawing the medians

### Question 5: What point is equidistant from all sides of a triangle?
# Brief Explanations:
- Option a: The incenter is the intersection of angle bisectors and is equidistant from all sides of the triangle.
- Option b: The orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes and has no property of being equidistant from all sides.
- Option c: The centroid is the intersection of medians and is related to the balance point of the triangle, not equidistant from sides.
- Option d: The circumcenter is equidistant from all vertices, not all sides.
# Answer: a. Incenter

### Question 6: What characterizes the incircle of a triangle?
# Brief Explanations:
- Option a: The circumcircle passes through all three vertices, not the incircle.
- Option b: The incircle and circumcircle are different (the incircle is inside the triangle, the circumcircle can be outside or pass through vertices).
- Option c: The circumcenter is equidistant from vertices, not the incircle's center (incenter) in terms of vertices.
- Option d: The incircle is inscribed within the triangle (it lies inside the triangle) and is tangent to (touches) all three sides of the triangle.
# Answer: d. It is inscribed within a triangle and touches all three sides
