Explanation / Answer

1.

Perpendicular bisector -                F - Is a point equidistant from three sides of the triangle

Midsegment of a triangle -         D - connecting the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle

Distance from poin to a line –     J - length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line.

Circumcenter of a triangle –        F - is the point equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle

Incentre of a triangle -                   E - is the point where all three angle bisectors always intersect

Angle bisector –                                               I - the line or line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts

Centroid of a triangle -                   C - is the point where its medians intersect

Median of a triangle -                     G - is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposing side

Orthocentre of the triangle-       A- The orthocenter is the point where all three altitudes of the triangle intersect

Altitude of the triangle -               B - line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base

2. The three medians of a triangle intersect at its centroid. The centroid is the triangle's balance point
