The point of concurrency is the ___ of the triangle. Created by perpendicular bisectors, equidistant from each vertex of the triangle.

Point of concurrency of the three angle bisectors. Created by angle bisectors, equidistant from each side of the triangle.

a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
