Prove that the the line segment joining the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle to the vertex of the right angle is equal to half the hypotenuse?

Simply by measuring it.
Or by drawing a circle with a radius of half the hypotenuse and having the vertex of the right angle as its centre and if the midpoint of the hypotenuse just touches the circle then this proves it.

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.
If the length of the line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of an equilateral triangle is 6 the perimeter of the triangle is?
36. If the length of the line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of an equilateral triangle is 6 the perimeter of the triangle is 36.

A triangle is a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex?
A triangle is not a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex.
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.
In a triangle a segment is drawn joining the midpoint of two sides. What is true about the segment?
The triangle midpoint theorem states that the line segment is parallel to the third side and is congruent to one half of the third side.
Proof for the midpoint theorem 7.5?
The midpoint theorem says the following: In any triangle the segment joining the midpoints of the 2 sides of the triangle will be parallel to the third side and equal to half of it
How many midpoints does a line segment contain?
it depends on how long or how many joining segments it has. normally one line segment contains only one midpoint. Unless it has a joining segment there is only one midpoint.

What is the difference between a median and the altitude of a triangle?
A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Altitude of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to the opposite side or an extension of the opposite side.
