| In
geometry, the incircle or inscribed circle of a triangle is the largest circle
contained in the triangle; it touches (is tangent to) the three sides. The center of the incircle is called the triangle’s incenter. The incircle can be used to see how big of a circluar object you could fit into a triangluar shaped room. |

This was a little confusing. It didn’t really have a good real-life situation. Trying to fit a circular object into a triangular shaped room made sense though.

The triangular room is a little weird but it makes sense. The whole thing was a little confusing though.

I didn’t get this at all. I didnt really think this was a real life situation. Just like everyone else said the only thing that really makes sence is the triangular room.

I didn’t really get that. It was really confusing. The triangle room part kind of makes sense but not really. There was no real life example.

the triangular room makes a little sence but there was no real life example anyway good effort

This was a little bit confusing. It didnt have an example of a “real life”
job. The circle in a triangle part made a little bit of sense.

This was a bit hard to understand. I’m not sure it would make much sense in real life

This article was veryinsteresting i never though u could use incircles to do that. good paragraph

great job… it is very interesting how geometry can end up in real life

this was a very interesting how you can use incenter to firgure the space in a room

This was confusing, most people don’t live in triangles, so I don’t see why this helps exactly. But it makes sense for the explaining the incenter of a triangle.
