In this exercise we will fold all the 3 angle bisectors of a triangle and show that they meet at a SINGLE point. First make any scalene triangle. All its 3 sides should be of different lengths. And therefore its three angles will also be different from each other. First we will fold the base (A) of the triangle and then another side (B). Then place edge B on A and fold. The fold will bisect the angle and is called the angle bisector. Draw the first angle bisector with pen. Then fold the third side (C) of the triangle. Now place (C) on (B) to get the second angle bisector. Draw this angle bisector with a pen. Finally place (C) on (A) and fold to bisect the third angle. Draw this angle bisector with the pen. You will see that all the three angle bisectors intersect or pass through the same point with is called the IN-CENTER of the triangle.
