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

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.


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.

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.
