Real Life Applications - Circumcenter and Incenter

Image
In this post, we will be looking at a couple of real life scenarios where having the knowledge about the Circumcenter and the Incenter might help us with a solution. Applications of Circumcenter There are two ways to look at the Circumcenter : As the point of intersection of three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle.  As the point which is equidistant from the three corners(vertices) of a triangle.  Read more about the Circumcenter here . Generally speaking, when you want to know the spot or location which is just about at an equal distance from three (non-linear) objects, you are basically looking for the circumcenter. Let’s say there are three villages in the vicinity of each other and you want to open a fertiliser plant near them. The plant can be set up at a place such that it is approximately same distance away from the villages but close to all three villages as much as possible.  Here the location of the circumcenter can be a perfect spot.
