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.
The angle opposite the base angles of an isosceles triangle?
Vertex angle
What is a perpendicular segment from the vertex to the line containing the side opposite of the vertex?
a right angle
Which term describes a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point on the line containing the opposite side so that the segment is perpendicular to that line?
The description given fits that of a right angle triangle
What is the side opposite of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle?
The base
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
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.

The base
If a line splits a side of a triangle so that one segment is double than the other segment would the angle measurements have a relationship?
This would depend on if you use the segment's endpoints on the triangle with the vertex of the triangle to get the angle.
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.
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 kind of tringle will you make if you draw a line from one vertex to the opposite vertex of a rectangle?
A right angle triangle
