What best describes a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point on the line containing the opposite side so that the line segment is perpendicular to that line?
A line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point on the line containing the opposite side, where the segment is perpendicular to that line, is known as an altitude of the triangle. This segment represents the shortest distance from the vertex to the opposite side, and it helps to determine the triangle's height when calculating its area. Each triangle has three altitudes, one from each vertex.
What term Is it when a line segment connects to a vertex of a triangle on the line containing the opposite side?
line segment
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.

Do you understand the definition of a line segment?
Yes, I do understand the definition of a line segment. A line segment is a line that actually has two endpoints. Such endpoint is a triangle's or a square's side.
How do you name segments in a triangle?
Usually a line segment in a triangle is either assigned a letter, or is referred to by the letters at the end of the segment with a line overhead. For instance, if you have a triangle ABC, you'll have segments AB, AC, and BC. And there would be a line over each segment name.
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.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and bisects the side the vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and bisects the side of the triangle opposite the vertex.
