The perpendicular from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side is known as the altitude of the triangle. It represents the shortest distance from the vertex to the line containing the opposite side. The point where the altitude intersects the opposite side is called the foot of the altitude. Each triangle has three altitudes, one from each vertex.
The segment of a triangle that joins a vertex to the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex is called a median. Each triangle has three medians, one from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The point where all three medians intersect is known as the centroid, which is the triangle's center of mass. Medians divide the triangle into two smaller triangles of equal area.
A triangle is not a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex.
I believe the common end points are called vertices. Each separate one is called a vertex, but the plural of "vertex" is "vertices."
The front of a triangle is typically referred to as the "base." In a triangle, the base is one of the sides and is often chosen to be horizontal for ease of understanding in geometric contexts. The opposite vertex, from which the height is measured, is referred to as the apex or vertex of the triangle.
Technically, triangles don't have tops or bottoms; triangles are rotatable abstractions. Each of the three lines is called a side and each of the three corners is called a vertex. In more friendly real-world terms, if a triangle is oriented with a side at the "bottom", then the "top" is a vertex; in this case one might call the "bottom" the triangle's base and call the corner at the "top" the vertex opposite the base. If a triangle is oriented with a vertex at the "bottom", then the "top" could be a side or it could be another vertex depending upon the exact shape of the triangle.
the vertex is between two edges (sides). The top point. or sometimes base.
An Altitude.
It is the vertex
Vertex of a triangle is any of its 3 corners and the plural of vertex is vertices

A median of a triangle is a line from a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex.
The vertex or the apex. I prefer apex to describe the upper most tip of a triangle.
