By using a pair of compasses or depending on what type of triangle it is creating a perpendicular line from one of its vertices to its opposite side.

What is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle called?

I think it's called a vertice, and there are 3 vertices in a triangle. -- WRONGCORRECTION- it is NOT called a vertice. A vertice is each angle point, there ARE three vertices in a triangle but they the point of each angle.Now, a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is called a mid-segment. There are three mid-segments in a triangle.Go here for more info* http://regentsprep.org/Regents/math/geometry/GP10/MidLineL.htm *

If a line splits a side of a triangle so that one segment is double than the other segment would the angle measurements have a relationship?

This would depend on if you use the segment's endpoints on the triangle with the vertex of the triangle to get the angle.
