No, it is not true that a segment's bisector will always be congruent to the segment itself. A segment bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides the original segment into two equal parts, but the bisector itself does not have to be equal in length to the original segment. For example, if you have a segment of length 10 units, its bisector will simply divide it into two segments of 5 units each, but the bisector itself can be of any length and orientation.

True or false are equal segments are always congruent?

If by "equal" you mean "equal in length", yes, that is the same as "congruent".

Does a perpendicular bisector of a triangle always passes through the opposite vertex?

No, the perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle does not necessarily pass through the opposite vertex. The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint, and it may intersect the interior or exterior of the triangle, depending on its shape. In fact, the only time a perpendicular bisector passes through the opposite vertex is in the case of an isosceles triangle, where the two sides are equal, and their perpendicular bisectors coincide with the altitude.


Is the altitude of a triangle always the perpendicular bisector?

No.


Are two segments with the same length congruent?

When applied to two line segments, they are said to be congruent if they are both exactly the same length, but they need not be parallel to each other (they can also bisect each other). Thickness does not matter as lines have no thickness (thickness only applies to shapes). However, it should be noted that rays and lines are not congruent as their lengths are infinite. Rays have no defined end point while lines have neither a start nor an end point defined. Line segments always have both a start and an end point defined.
