Exploration Questions
Use accurate vocabulary and the picture to explain your reasoning behind each question.
1. What are some things that you notice, now, looking at the picture? Make at least two conjectures about the incenter of a triangle.
2. Test the conjectures you made in question 1 by dragging one or more of the vertices around. Is it correct for all types of triangles (right, acute, obtuse)? How do you know? If it is not correct, how would you change it?
3. How would you describe the incenter of a triangle to a classmate who was not here for the activity?
