Yes, they can. This is done all the time in mathematics, logic and other areas. However, you must ensure that you either record the theorems used, or write them out in whole and attach them to the proof of the new theorem.

What kind of statements would you prove with a geometric proof?

Riders, lemmas, theorems.


Can Postulates be used to prove theorems?

No, because postulates are assumptions. Some true, some not. Proving a Theorem requires facts in a logical order to do so.


In a geometric proof what can be used to explain a statement?

Axioms and logic (and previously proved theorems).


What is an axiomatic system in mathematics?

An axiomatic system in mathematics is a system of axioms that can be used together to derive a theorem. Axiomatic systems help prove theorems in mathematics.


What is the difference between proof and postulate?

Why isn't the Pythagorean theorem a law?

The axiomatic structure of geometry, as initiated by Euclid and then developed by other mathematicians starts of with 8 axioms or postulates which are self-evident truths". Chains of logical reasoning can be used to prove theorems which are then accepted as additional truths, and so on. Geometry does not have laws, as such.


What is the difference between axiom and theorem?

The axioms are the initial assumptions. The theorems are derived, by logical reasoning, from the axioms - or from other, previously derived, theorems.


How do you prove theorem 10.5?

Can postulates be used to solve theorems?

No. A postulate need not be true.
