Incircle#

Definition: Incircle

An incircle of a [[Polygons|polygon]] is a [[Circle]] in the polygon's [[Planes|plane]] which is [[Configurations of Lines and Circles|tangent]] to all of its [[Polygons|sides]].

Definition: Inradius

A [[Circle|radius]] of an [[Tangential Polygons|incircle]] is known as an inradius.

Definition: Incenter

The [[Circle|center]] of an [[Tangential Polygons|incircle]] is known as an incenter.

Tangential Polygon#

Definition: Tangential Polygon

A [[Polygons|polygon]] is tangential or circumscribed iff it has an [[Tangential Polygons|incircle]].

Theorem: Uniqueness of the Incircle

The [[Tangential Polygons|incircle]] of a [[Tangential Polygon]] is unique.

Proof

Theorem

A [[Polygons|polygon]] is [[Tangential Polygons|tangential]] if and only if the [[Angle Bisector of a Plane Angle|bisectors]] of its [[Polygons|interior angles]] are all [[Concurrent Lines|concurrent]].

Proof

TODO

Theorem: Incenter of a Tangential Polygon

The [[Tangential Polygons|incenter]] of a [[Tangential Polygons|tangential polygon]] is the [[Euclidean Geometry|point]] where the [[Angle Bisector of a Plane Angle|bisectors]] of the polygon's [[Polygons|interior angles]] intersect.

Theorem: Convexity of Tangential Polygons

Every [[Tangential Polygons|tangential polygon]] is [[Convex Polygon|convex]].

Theorem: Area of a Tangential Polygon

The [[Polygons|area]] \(S\) of a [[Tangential Polygons|tangential polygon]] can be calculated using its [[Polygons|perimeter]] and [[Tangential Polygons|inradius]] \(r\):

\[S = \frac{P \cdot r}{2}\]
