What is point [color=#ff0000][b]O[/b][/color] called?[br][br]d. Where is point [color=#ff0000][b]O[/b][/color] when the triangle is acute?[br][br]e. Where is point [color=#ff0000][b]O[/b][/color] when the triangle is obtuse?[br][br]f. Where is point [color=#ff0000][b]O[/b][/color] when the triangle is right?[br][br]g. What is unique about the [b][color=#0000ff]blue lines[/color][/b] when all three sides of the triangle are congruent?
