#1. What term 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? #2. Which term describes a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side?
An altitude is a line that passes through a vertex and it intersects the opposite side of that vertex at 90 degree i.e. the line is perpendicular to the opposite side.
The point where the three altitudes of a triangle meet is called the Orthocenter of the triangle.
Median of a triangle--
The median of the triangle is the line which passes through a vertex and meets the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle.
The point where the three medians of a triangle meet is called the Centroid of the triangle.
#1 The ALTITUDE is
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.
#2 The MEDIAN a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side
