-- If both of its endpoints are the same vertex, then the line segment's length
is zero, and you'd look at it and swear that it was only a point, and you can't
see it at all if you don't know it's there.
-- If each of its endpoints is a different vertex, then the line segment exactly
coincides with one side of the triangle, and you can't see it at all if you don't
know it's there.

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.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the side opposite that vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.
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 term describes a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point of the line contains the opposite side so that the line segment is perpendicular to that line?
The term that describes this line segment is "altitude." In a triangle, an altitude is drawn from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side, creating a right angle with that side. Each triangle has three altitudes, one from each vertex, which can be inside or outside the triangle depending on the type of triangle.
What is a line segment connecting the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side?
It is an altitude.
Line segment with endpoints that are a vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex?
median
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.
If a line splits a side of a triangle so that one segment is double than the other segment would the angle measurements have a relationship?
This would depend on if you use the segment's endpoints on the triangle with the vertex of the triangle to get the angle.
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.

A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.
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 triangle with a perpindicular segment from the vertex to the line containing the side opposite the vertex?
A right angle triangle perhaps
What are secondary parts of a triangle in geometry?
A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a polygon with three corners or vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments. A triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted ABC.the secondary parts are at the bottom.the secondary parts of the trianglemedian - a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle and the midpoint of the opposite sideangle bisector - a segment which bisects an angle and whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle and a point on the opposite sidealtitude - a segment from the vertex of the triangle perpendicular to the line containing the opposite sideperpendicular bisector - a line whose points are equidistant from the endpoints of the given side.incenter - the point of concurrency of the three angle bisectors of the trianglecentroid - the point of concurrency of the three medians of the triangleorthocenter - the point of concurrency of the three altitudes of the trianglecircumcenter - the point of concurrency of the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle .by merivic lacaya and acefg123ZNNHS Student.

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.
What is the altitude of a triangle?
