We will prove the following theorem:
Given , construct the arc midpoint , , of , , , respectively. Then the incenter is the orthocenter of .
Proof: Let be the intersection of and .
From observations, it looks like is the angle bisector of .
Since bisects arc , we have that and intercept equal arcs, and thus is the angle bisector of . Now we want to prove that is perpendicular to .
We want to find . To do so, we take the average of the two arcs that it intercepts. So Thus every angle bisector of is an altitude of . This implies that the incenter of is the orthocenter of .
