Space (mathematics) projective geometry nor defined from the notions mentioned there. The question "what is the sum of the three angles of a triangle" is meaningful in Euclidean geometry but meaningless in projective geometry. A different situation appeared in the 19th century: in some geometries the sum of the three angles of a triangle is well-defined but different from the classical value (180 degrees). Non-Euclidean hyperbolic geometry, introduced by Nikolai Lobachevsky in 1829 and János Bolyai in 1832 (and Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1816, unpublished) stated that the sum depends on the triangle and is always less than 180 degrees.

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
