They are the common tangents to the circles.
it intersects the segment joining the centers of two circles
Yes, it is possible to trisect a line segment using a straightedge and compass. To do this, you can first draw two circles with the endpoints of the segment as centers and a radius equal to the length of the segment. By intersecting these circles and connecting the intersection points, you can create a series of segments that can be divided into three equal parts, effectively trisecting the original line segment.
Common external tangents and common internal tangents are two types of tangents that can be drawn between two circles. Common external tangents touch each circle at one point without intersecting the line segment joining the circles' centers, while common internal tangents intersect this line segment. The key difference lies in their geometric relationship to the circles: external tangents do not pass between the circles, whereas internal tangents do. Each type can be determined based on the relative positions and sizes of the circles involved.

an intersecting line segment is when two line segments cross together
perpendicular bisector
A bisector.
It's when two lines cross eachother
A triangle is not a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex.
A line segment joining two adjacent vertices of a polygon is called an edge or a side. A line segment joining two non-adjacent vertices is called a diagonal.
