In triangle LMN, bisectors of interior angles at L and N intersect each other at point A. Prove that:
- Point A is equidistant from all the three sides of the triangle.
- AM bisects angle LMN.

Solution
Construction: Join AM
Proof:
∵ A lies on bisector of ∠N
∴ A is equidistant from MN and LN.
Again, A lies on bisector of ∠L
∴ A is equidistant from LN and LM.
Hence, A is equidistant from all sides of the triangle LMN.
∴ A lies on the bisector of ∠M
