bisector
Line splitting equally
A bisector is a line, plane, or point that divides something into two equal parts.
In geometry, an angle bisector splits an angle exactly in half; a perpendicular bisector crosses a line segment at its midpoint at a right angle.
Draw the bisector of the base to find the triangle's center.
