Question

A town has three roads that form an obtuse triangle. James wants to set up a refreshment stand so that the shortest distance from his stand to each road is the same for all three roads. Where should he set up the refreshment stand?

A. on the centroid
B. on the circimcenter
C. on the incenter
D. on the median

I have an hour 50min to do this please help!

Answer 1

He should set up the refreshment stand on the incenter of the obtuse triangle. The incenter of a triangle is described as the intersection between the angle bisectors of a triangle. The inradius are the line segments from the incenter of the triangle to each of the three sides of the triangle which are all equal. The inradius is depicted as the radius of an inscribed circle in the triangle. Therefore, the shortest equal distance from his stand to each road is C. on the incenter.
