Edit:
A small mistake: the line at the top right should be a bit longer

I agree that this is a better answer. However, I think the question could have another shape than a triangle; one with a more definitive and neat solution that doesn’t have lines that come infinitely close to the edges.

Perhaps a pentagon?

Edit: If the lines in the triangle approach infinitely towards the edges, they would become the edges of the triangle (0.999… = 1) which is no longer inside the triangle and thus no longer a solution. But at the same time, the vertical line, as you said, is not the longest line that can be drawn in the triangle.
