We explore triangles with the property that the circumference of the incircle equals one of the side lengths. The main problem we solve is finding a way to characterise such triangles through their Cartesian coordinates. More precisely, given a triangle with a side between ±pi on the xaxis, and whose incentre has coordinates (u,1), what are the coordinates of the third point of the triangle? We also find the range of values of u for which this holds.
