How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
Is the distance from the top of one crest of a transverse wave to the top of the next crest in that wave?
That's the 'wavelength'.
What is half the vertical distance between the crest and trough of a transverse wave called?
amplitude
What is the peak of a transverse wave called?
The crest is the name of the top part of a transverse wave
What is the distance between any two crest in a transverse wave or the distance between any two rarefactions in a longitudinal wave?
That's a description of "wavelength".

Which term describes the distance between any two crest in a transverse wave or the distance between any two rarefaction's in a longitudinal wave?
wavelength

wavelength
What are the high and low points of a transverse wave called?
The highest parts of a transverse wave are CRESTS.
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
CREST
The crest of a transverse wave similar to what on a longitudinal wave?
compression
What is the distance from crest to midpoint of a transverse wave?
If I understand the question correctly, that's one-quarter of a full cycle, so it is 1/4 of the wavelength. The wavelength varies from wave to wave - and this has nothing to do whether the wave is transverse or longitudinal.
