Question

A team skydiving competition requires that competitors land within the triangular area formed by three small discs on the ground. A perfect landing is when a skydiver touches down at a point equidistant from the sides of the triangle formed by the discs. If the vertices of the discs on a coordinate plane are (-2,5), (0,2), and (2,5), what are the coordinates of the perfect touchdown? Use a protractor to estimate the coordinates to the nearest tenth.

(-2,5)
O
y
(2,5)
(0, 2)
X
Extra Practice

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).
