In geometry, the incircle or inscribed circle of a polygon is the largest circle contained in the polygon; it touches (is tangent to) the many sides. The center of the incircle is called the polygon's incenter. An excircle or escribed circle of the polygon is a circle lying outside the polygon, tangent to one of its sides and tangent to the extensions of the other two. Every polygon has many distinct excircles, each tangent to one of the polygons sides. See also Tangent lines to circles.
