The anchor point would be placed at the center of the triangle. In order to find this point, you have to construct three angle bisectors. Start from one vertex and intersect it to the midpoint of the opposite side. These angle bisectors are drawn in blue lines. The intersection of these bisectors, represented by the red dot, is the anchor point.
