PROVING A THEOREM Write a proof of the In center Theorem (Theorem 6.6$)$ . Given $$ \begin{array}{l}{\triangle \mathrm{ABC}, \overline{\mathrm{AD}} \text { bisects } \angle \mathrm{CAB}} \\ {\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{BD}} \text { bisects } \angle \overline{\mathrm{CA}}} \\ {\text { and } \overline{\mathrm{DG}} \perp \overline{\mathrm{CA}}}\end{array} $$ Prove The angle bisectors intersect at $\mathrm{D},$ which is equidistant from $\overline{\mathrm{AB}}, \overline{\mathrm{BC}},$ and $\overline{\mathrm{CA}}$ .
