e. Fromyour workin a-d, whatconditionmusthold in orderto circumscribea quadrilateral?


  1. Considerequilateraltriangle. Constructthe anglebisectorsof the triangleand the incenter
    . Connectthe incenterto eachvertexso that the line segmentintersectsthe side oppositethe angleas follows.


As with circumcenters,we get six congruent triangles.Now connectthe pointsthat intersect
the sides.Whatkind of figuredo you get?



  1. True or false:An incentercan also be a circumcenter. Illustrateyour reasoningwith a drawing.

  2. Considerthe situationdescribedin exercise4 for the case of an isoscelestriangle.Whatcan you conclude
    aboutthe six trianglesthat are formed?

  3. Considerline segment with coordinates ,. Supposethat we wish to find points


and so that the resultingquadrilateralcan be eithercircumscribedor inscribed.Whatare somepos-
