*Incircle, Excircles, Gergonne, and Nagel

Incircles

The center of the incircle is marked with point I. This applet also introduces excircles: when the sides of a triangle are extended, the excircles are circles that are tangent to the extended sides of the circle AND the third side of the triangle. For funsies: How do you think you would construct an excircle? Open up another tab of geogebra.org/geometry and see if your idea works!!!

The segments drawn from the point of tangency of a side and incircle to the opposite vertex is the Gergonne point.

The segments drawn from the point of tangency of a side and excircle to the opposite vertex is the Nagel point.
