What is the special name for the segment that connects the center of a polygon to an outer edge to form the height of the triangle?

You may be thinking of the perpendicular line because the area of a triangle is 0.5*base*perpendicular height

How do you best describe the area of a polygon?
What is the special name for the segment that connects the center of a regular polygon to an outer edge to form the height of a triangle

What is a polygon that connects the bases of a polyhedron?
There is no special name. In a prism it would be a quadrilateral, in an antiprism, a triangle.

Why is a triangle a special polygon?
It is the only polygon whose side lengths determine its shape.

Which is the minimum number of sides of a polygon?
Anything over 2. Some, eg triangle, are special cases...
Do all sides and angles equal each other in all polygons?
Not necessarily. The sides and angles can be the same, or different. If all angles in a polygon are congruent (same measure) and all sides are congruent, then the polygon is said to be a "regular polygon". In the special case of a triangle, it is also known as an "equilateral triangle", and in the special case of a 4-sided polygin, as a "square".
What is the name of a circle that lies outside of the triangle and passes through all vertices of the triangle?
The triangle that has all three vertices touching the circle is called an 'inscribed triangle.' The circle has no special name, only the polygon inscribed.
What is a special polygon?
A special polygon is a centrally symmetric polygon, has sides parallel to its axes, and is obtained by distorting the square.
In Shape- and Position tolerances what does the term reference element mean?
In Shape- and Position tolerances what does the term reference element means a special element on which the elmentary computations (integrals) are performed. For instance, the reference segment in GetFEM++ is the segment [0,1]. The reference triangle is the triangle (0,0), (0,1), (1,0).
What type of special computer connects one Lan to another Lan?
A LAN Bridge. It is not a special computer per say. A LAN bridge connects two or more LANs at layer two in the OSI network model. The LAN bridge receives packets from a LAN segment connected to one port and forwards them to another LAN segment connected to a different port. While a LAN bridge serves the purpose of extending network range, it also relieves the problem of congestion that multiple devices can cause on a single Ethernet segment.
