what is postulate in geometry ??
Answers
Answer:
A statement, also known as an axiom, which is taken to be true without proof. Postulates are the basic structure from which lemmas and theorems are derived. The whole of Euclidean geometry, for example, is based on five postulates known as Euclid's postulates.
☞ A postulate is a statement that is accepted without proof. Axiom is another name for a postulate. For example, if you know that Pam is five feet tall and all her siblings are taller than her, you would believe her if she said that all of her siblings are at least five foot one.

Postulates themselves cannot be proven, but since they are usually self-evident, their acceptance is not a problem. Here is a good example of a postulate (given by Euclid in his studies about geometry).
