all except the last one.

This is the Equidistant Thm. Point T and Point P are each equidistant from the endpoints of segment RV. So their line, PT is the perpendicular bisector of the segment, RV.
So, all are true except RV bisection TP.

RPVT can be both a square or a rhombus
If TP bisects RV, then RV bisects TP
TP and RV are perpendicular
However, since this can be a rhombus, T and P aren't necessarily equidistant from R and V.

false - line RV bisects line TP

Do you mean parallel?
By definition, lines ARE NEVER congruent. Or are these line segments?
