Answer: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

       If x is the first piece, and the second piece is twice as long, then the second piece is 2x.

        If the third piece is three times as long as the first piece, x, then the third piece is 3x.

       The 42-inch board must be equal to all 3 pieces, so we will set up an equation and solve for x.

42 = x + 2x + 3x

42 = 6x

42 = 6x

7 = x

              The first piece is 7 inches long.

The circumcenter is the center of the circle which goes through the triangle's vertices, so the circumcenter of the triangle and the center of that circumscribed circle MUST be the same point.

The same goes for the incenter and the center of the inscribed circle, though these will not, in general, be the same point as the circumcenter.
