how to make an incircle

Following are the steps to construct incircle of triangle:
Step 1: With the compass on a vertex, adjust its width to a medium setting.
Step 2: Draw an arc across each leg
Step 3: Draw two intersecting arcs, one from each previous arc
Step 4: Draw the angle bisector line
Step 5: Repeat for one of the other vertices.
Step 6: Mark the incenter where the two lines intersect
Step 7: Construct a perpendicular from the incenter to a side, creating point M.
Step 8: With the compass on the incenter, set its width to point M.
Step 9: Draw a circle
Thus we get the incircle of triangle.
