The segment's name is APOTHEM.

The apothem is also the radius of the incircle of the polygon. For a polygon of n sides, there are n possible apothems, all the same length of course. The word apothem can refer to the line itself, or the length of that line.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
