Incenter centers known to the ancient Greeks, and the only one that does not in general lie on the Euler line. It is the first listed center, X(1), in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers, and the identity element of the multiplicative group of triangle centers. For polygons with more than three sides, the incenter only exists for tangential polygons—those that have an incircle that is tangent to each side of the polygon. In this case the incenter is the center of this circle and is equally distant from all sides. It is a theorem in Euclidean geometry that the three
Regular polygon "n"-gon, the sum of the perpendicular distances from any interior point to the "n" sides is "n" times the apothem (the apothem being the distance from the center to any side). This is a generalization of Viviani's theorem for the "n"=3 case. The circumradius "R" from the center of a regular polygon to one of the vertices is related to the side length "s" or to the apothem "a" by For constructible polygons, algebraic expressions for these relationships exist; see Bicentric polygon#Regular polygons. The sum of the perpendiculars from a regular "n"-gon's vertices to any line tangent to the circumcircle
