Angles and incenters and excenters. #
This file proves lemmas relating incenters and excenters of a simplex to angle bisection.
An excenter of a simplex bisects the angle at a point shared between two faces, as measured between that excenter and its touchpoints on those faces.
The incenter of a simplex bisects the angle at a point shared between two faces, as measured between the incenter and its touchpoints on those faces.
Given a face of a simplex, if a point bisects the angle between that face and each other face, as measured at points shared between those faces between that point and its projections onto the faces, that point is an excenter of the simplex.
A point p is equidistant to two sides of a triangle if and only if the oriented angles at
their common vertex are equal modulo π.
An excenter of a triangle bisects the angle at a vertex modulo π.
The incenter of a triangle bisects the angle at a vertex.
The excenter of a triangle opposite a vertex bisects the angle at that vertex.
The excenter of a triangle opposite a vertex bisects the exterior angle at another vertex
(that is, the interior angles between vertices and the excenter differ by π).
A point lying on angle bisectors from two vertices is an excenter.
An excenter lying on the internal angle bisector from a vertex is either the incenter or the excenter opposite that vertex.
An excenter lying on the external angle bisector from a vertex is the excenter opposite another vertex.
A point lying on two internal angle bisectors is the incenter.
A point lying on the internal angle bisector from vertex i₁ and the external angle bisector
from another vertex is the excenter opposite vertex i₁.
A point lying on two external angle bisectors is the excenter opposite the third vertex.
