In the triangle , let the incircle have center
and let its points of tangency to the sides
,
and
be points
,
and
, respectively. Let
be the midpoint of
. Then the lines
,
and
are concurrent. Drag the locators
,
and
to see that this holds for any triangle.

Details
The incircle of a triangle is the circle contained in the triangle tangent to each of the three sides. Lines are concurrent if they all pass through a common point.
See [1] for the formulas AreaOfTriangle, Circumcircle and IntersectionofLines.
