I used Astute Graphics's "Tangent Circle Tool" to make it tangential to two of the three straight lines, but I want it to be tangential to all of the three straight lines. How to do it?

I've written a script, based on maths I found (beyond my skills!) that draws the in-circle from three selected lines. (It can also draw the triangle made from the intersecting lines, but it's commented out for this post.)

After selecting the three straight lines,
and "Divide" in Pathfinder,
all you have to do is drag the Live Corner to the center of the triangle.
I duplicated the triangle for illustration and used it as a guide.
