equilateral triangles
The perpendicular bisector bisects the angle at the vertex.
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
Yes, provided that the base is not one of the 2 equal sides. And it's also the perpendicular bisector of the base.

No
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
thank goodness for my math teacher, norm! he said only in an isosceles triangle. The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base! =)
True
Yes. The bisector of one angle of a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of theopposite side if the bisected angle is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle,or any angle of an equilateral triangle.
A line joining any vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Because of the properties of an equilateral triangle, this line may be described as the median, the perpendicular bisector of a side or an angle bisector.
and is perpendicular to the opposite side.

Yes, provided that the base is not one of the 2 equal sides. And it's also the perpendicular bisector of the base.
Yes. If you have an isosceles triangle standing up on the unequal side, thenthe line segment from the top vertex perpendicular to the base is all of these.
