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
Hyperbolic geometry or hypercycle, then the triangle has no circumscribed circle. As in spherical and elliptical geometry, in hyperbolic geometry if two triangles are similar, they must be congruent. A special polygon in hyperbolic geometry is the regular apeirogon, a uniform polygon with an infinite number of sides. In Euclidean geometry, the only way to construct such a polygon is to make the side lengths tend to zero and the apeirogon is indistinguishable from a circle, or make the interior angles tend to 180 degrees and the apeirogon approaches a straight line. However, in hyperbolic geometry, a regular apeirogon has sides of
