The Angle Bisectors Theorem for Hyperbolic Triangles The internal angle bisectors of a hyperbolic triangle are concurrent.
Proof
By the Hyperbolic Sine Rule applied to the h-triangles AQC and AQB,
SImilarly, using the bisectors BR and CP,
Multiplying the ratios,
The angle bisectors all lie within the h-triangle, so any two must meet.

Proof of the incentre property Suppose that X lies on the bisector of <BAC. Then h-inversion in the h-line AX maps points on AB to points on AC.
Let the hyperbolic perpendiculars from X meet AB in D and AC in F.
Now suppose that X also lies on the bisector of <BCA. Then we also It follows that D, E and F lie on an h-circle C with h-centre X.
Finally, as XD is perpendicular to AB, C touches AB at D, and
