In the upper figure, the points of tangency of the incircle with the sides of the triangle break the perimeter into 6 segments, in 3 pairs. In each pair the segments are of equal length. For example, the 2 segments adjacent to vertex

The law of cosines can be expressed in terms of the cotangent instead of the cosine, which brings the triangle's area
