18.5 Tangent Lines — The Line That Only Kisses Once
Point 5 of 5
18.5.5 Incenter Versus Circumcenter, Side by Side
Core idea
The incenter is equidistant from the three sides and always sits inside the triangle, while the circumcenter is equidistant from the three corners and can wander outside it.
Module goal. Dig deep into the borderline case of tangency, mastering a tangent's properties, its test, and the tangent-length theorem, then apply them to a triangle's inscribed circle.
