What is the difference between proof and postulate?
A proof uses postulates and theorems to prove some statement.
Why does a triangle have 180 degree?
It is a consequence of Euclid's parallel postulate. In fact, in some versions, the statement that "a plane triangle has interior angles that sum to 180 degrees" replaces the parallel postulate.
Which postulate is used to answer?
Could you please specify which postulate you are referring to?
Is every statement a theorem why?
There are many kinds of statement that are not theorems: A statement can be an axiom, that is, something that is assumed to be true without proof. It is usually self-evident, but like Euclid's parallel postulate, need not be. A statement need not be true in all circumstances - for example, A*B = B*A (commutativity) is not necessarily true for matrix multiplication. A statement can be false. A statement can be self-contradictory for example, "This statement is false".
How does postulate becomes a theorem.?
When a postulate has been proven it becomes a theorem.
Is a postulate acceptable as justification for a statement in a proof?

A postulate is a statement requiring proof?
False...A postulate is a statement that does not require proof! P.S.: I know this is late, but I hope it helps!
