What is a segment that passes through of vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side?
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
What is a perpendicular line or segment that bisects one side of a triangle called?
A perpendicular line or segment that bisects one side of a triangle is called the median of the triangle. Specifically, it is the line segment that connects a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side, creating two equal segments. This segment is not only perpendicular but also plays a crucial role in various triangle properties and constructions.
A perpendicular line or segment that bisects one side of a triangle is called the?
Perpendicular bisector.
What is a of a triangle is a segment joining a vertix and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex?
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.
What is perpendicular from a vertex of a triangle to opposite side?
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.

What is a line perpendicular to a segment at the segment's midpoint?
It's called a perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
Can a triangle have two perpendicular sides?
Yes. If it is a right triangle, the angle opposite the hypotenuse will be right, 90o, therefore if the lines forming the angle were to continue, they would be perpendicular. What's the question?
What is the segment in a triangle from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side called?
Assuming that you meant midpoint, it is a median.
Which segment is perpendicular at midpoint?
I believe this is called the perpendicular bisector.
What is a segment or line that intersects the midpoint of a segment and is pepindicular to that segment called?
perpendicular bisector
Can a line perpendicular to a segment also bisect the segment?
Sure. There's even a special name for that line. It's called the "perpendicular bisector" of the segment.
What is the segment of a triangle joining a vertex in 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.
