If you mean the vertex where the two equal sides of an isosceles triangle intersect, the side is the base.

What is a perpendicular segment from the vertex to the line containing the side opposite of the vertex?
a right angle
What is the side opposite of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle?
The base
Which part of the angle is the vertex?
It is the angle opposite the given side of a figure (<CAB has Vertex of A because it is the tip of the moutain, which is the highest point)
Does the angle bisector in a triangle bisect the opposite side?
Not necessarily. The only time that the angle bisector would bisect the opposite side is if you were bisecting the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle.
What is a segment from a vertex of a triangle that forms a right angle with the opposite side?
An altitude.

Is median is a angle bisector?
A median is a line drawn from the centre of a side of a triangle to the opposite vertex. Only in two cases does it also bisect the angle :- 1) All three medians of an equilateral triangle bisect the angle of the opposite vertex. 2) One median (from the unequal side to the enclosed angle of the two equal sides) bisects the angle of the opposite vertex.

What is a segment from a vertex of a triangle that forms a right angle with the opposite side?
An altitude.
What is a triangle with a perpindicular segment from the vertex to the line containing the side opposite the vertex?
A right angle triangle perhaps
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the side opposite that vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.
What is A segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side of the triangle at a right angle?
The hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is opposite to its right angle of 90 degrees.
What is a angle that shares a vertex and a side?
An angle cannot "share" a vertex and a side.
What can you make out of 4 trapezoids?
Eight quadrilaterals if you cut each one in two from side to side (not vertex to opposite vertex).Eight quadrilaterals if you cut each one in two from side to side (not vertex to opposite vertex).Eight quadrilaterals if you cut each one in two from side to side (not vertex to opposite vertex).Eight quadrilaterals if you cut each one in two from side to side (not vertex to opposite vertex).
A triangle is a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex?
A triangle is not a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex.
