Construct an inscribed circle by following the construction steps provided below.
Instructions
1. | | Select the Polygon tool and construct a triangle. Label the vertices P, Q, and R. |
2. | | Select the Angle Bisector tool and construct the angle bisectors of the angles in the triangle. |
3. | | Create and label point A at the intersection of the three angle bisectors. |
4. | | Select the Perpendicular Line tool and create a line perpendicular to segment RQ and runs through point A. |
5. | | Create and label point B at the intersection of segment RQ and the perpendicular line. |
6. | Activate the Circle tool and construct a circle with the center at point A and runs through point B. | |
7. | Drag each vertex to check if the construction is correct. |
