Half of a triangle is typically referred to as a "triangle" as well, since dividing it does not create a different geometric shape but simply results in two smaller triangles. However, in the context of specific divisions, such as when a triangle is split by a median, each resulting triangle can be described as a "sub-triangle." If a triangle is divided by its altitude, the halves can be called "right triangles," depending on the original triangle's dimensions.
