The coordinate of the incentre of the triangle that has the coordinates of midpoints of its sides as 
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Let and \left({x}_{3}, {y}_{3}\right){x}_{1} + {x}_{2} = 0, {x}_{2} + {x}_{3} = 2, {x}_{3} + {x}_{1} = 2\dfrac{{x}_{1} + {x}_{2}}{2}{y}_{1} + {y}_{2} = 2, {y}_{2} + {y}_{3} = 2, {y}_{3} + {y}_{1} = 0.
We know that -coordinate of incentre
⇒ \overset{¯}{x} = \left(2 - \sqrt{2}\right)
