Answer:

A theorem 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.

A postulate is a statement or series of statements that a scientists or observer assumes is true. No proof is required. A theorem, on the other hand must be proven to be true.
