Question

What is the difference between postulate and theorem

Answer 1

A thorem is true and can be proven true vs a postulate is guessed true without any evidence.

Explanation:

A theorem is a group of statements that are used to prove something else, whereas a postulate is a statement that is not proved but is true through reasoning.

Answer 2

A postulate (or sometimes called as an axiom) is something assumed rather than proven. A theorem is something that is proven. To make a theorem, we first start with undefined terms. Such as line, point, and plane. Then next comes the postulates. Then the definitions. And in some theorems, a previously proven theorem is sometimes used in order to prove the new theorem.
