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

That would be the height when determing the area of the triangle. A= 1/2 base x height
In geometry, a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposing side.
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.

The triangle midpoint theorem states that the line segment is parallel to the third side and is congruent to one half of the third side.

Assuming that you meant midpoint, it is a median.

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
