Question

"The intersection of two planes is a line" is a statement that is generally accepted as true, but

cannot be proven to be true. What type of statement is this?
1. defined
2. undefined
3. postulate
4. proof

Answer 1

Answer: 3. Postulate

A postulate is something that is assumed to be true and there isn't a proof for it as its something foundational to help set up further proofs later down the road. Another example of a postulate is that a line is defined by two distinct points.
