Yes, provided that the base is not one of the 2 equal sides.
And it's also the perpendicular bisector of the base.
-- An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. -- An isosceles triangle has two equal angles. -- An isosceles triangle has two equal interior-angle bisectors. -- The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the triangle's base.

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.
In an isosceles or equilateral triangle, when from the vertex that is different from the others.
When one draws an isosceles triangle and cast a line straight down from the top, It will result to a perpendicular bisector of the bottom leg. This will only work with an isosceles 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! =)

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.
Only if the vertex angle being bisected is between the sides of equal length will the result be two congruent triangles.
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.
If the triangle is really isosceles, and it's not lying on one of the equal sides, then the altitude is always a median.

Yes but only if it's an equilateral or an isosceles triangle otherwise it's the vertical perpendicular height
