Program to Find the Incenter of a Triangle

0 0 3 minutes read

Given the vertices of a triangle and length of its sides. A circle is inscribed in a triangle. The task is to find the incenter of a triangle.
Examples:

Input: A(2, 2), B(1, 1), C(3, 1)
Output: (2, 1.5)

Input: A(3, 3), B(1, 2), C(2, 2)
Output: (2.5, 2.83)

Approach:

The center of the circle that touches the sides of a triangle is called its incenter.
Suppose the vertices of the triangle are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) and C(x3, y3).
Let the side AB = a, BC = b, AC = c then the coordinates of the in-center is given by the formula:

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find the
// incenter of a triangle
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // coordinate of the vertices
    float x1 = 2, x2 = 1, x3 = 3;
    float y1 = 2, y2 = 1, y3 = 1;
    float a = 2, b = 1, c = 1;
 
    // Formula to calculate in-center
    float x = (a * x1 + b *
                   x2 + c * x3) / (a + b + c);
    float y = (a * y1 + b *
                   y2 + c * y3) / (a + b + c);
 
    // System.out.print(setprecision(3));
    cout << "Incenter = "
         << "(" << x << ", " << y << ")";
    return 0;
}
