Explain the terms (1). Theorem
(2). Postulates in Geometry
Answers
Answer:
A theorem is a statement that can be demonstrated to be true by accepted mathematical operations and arguments. In general, a theorem is an embodiment of some general principle that makes it part of a larger theory. The process of showing a theorem to be correct is called a proof.
Postulates are statements that are assumed to be true without proof. Postulates serve two purposes - to explain undefined terms, and to serve as a starting point for proving other statements. Two points determine a line segment. A line segment can be extended indefinitely along a line.
Answer:
1. Theorem-a rule in algebra or other branches of mathematics expressed by symbols or formulae.
2. Postulate in Geometry-suggest or assume the existence, fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief.
