Coxeter decompositions of hyperbolic polygons the sum of the angles of a hyperbolic triangle is less than 180 degrees. Coxeter decompositions are named after Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter, an accomplished 20th century geometer. He introduced the Coxeter group, an abstract group generated by reflections. These groups have many uses, including producing the rotations of Platonic solids and tessellating the plane. Given a polygon "P", a group "G" can be generated by reflecting "P" around its sides. If the angles of "P" are /"k" for natural numbers "k", then "G" will be discrete. A Coxeter decomposition of a polygon is a decomposition into a finite number
Incircle and excircles of a triangle Because the Incenter is the same distance of all sides the trilinear coordinates for the incenter are The barycentric coordinates for a point in a triangle give weights such that the point is the weighted average of the triangle vertex positions. Barycentric coordinates for the incenter are given by where formula_7, formula_8, and formula_9 are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, or equivalently (using the law of sines) by where formula_11, formula_12, and formula_13 are the angles at the three vertices. The Cartesian coordinates of the incenter are a weighted average of the coordinates of the three vertices
