- This line is called the bisector (German Halbierende, Dutch bissectrice, Swedish bisektris).
- In an isosceles triangle the bisector of the side opposite the unequal angle is also perpendicular to that side.
- In an equilateral triangle all bisectors are perpendicular to the opposite sides.
- The point in which all bisectors meet in a triangle is called its barycenter (English from Greek meaning "center of gravity") and if the triangle were made of a homogeneous material of infinitesimal height (that is, if it were two-dimensional) it would be indeed its center of gravity.

A triangle is a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex?
A triangle is not a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex.

What is a segment in a triangle that connects a vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side?
Median
What is a segment connecting the vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle?
That would be the height when determing the area of the triangle. A= 1/2 base x height
A triangle is a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex?
A triangle is not a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex.
A line segment whose endpoints are the vertex of the triangle and midpoint of the opposite?
In geometry, a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposing side.
What is the difference between a median and the altitude of a triangle?
A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Altitude of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to the opposite side or an extension of the opposite side.

Proof for the midpoint theorem 7.5?
The midpoint theorem says the following: In any triangle the segment joining the midpoints of the 2 sides of the triangle will be parallel to the third side and equal to half of it
