Theorem: A Proven Statement.
Postulate: An Accepted Statement without Proof.
They mean similar things. A postulate is an unproven statement that is considered to be true; however a theorem is simply a statement that may be true or false, but only considered to be true if it has been proven.

A postulate is a statement which someone believes to be true. Normally it should be possible to prove or disprove it but that has not yet been done.

Select the postulate or theorem that could be used to prove QRT STR?
Well, this will depend on the length of the sides of the triangle for what postulate or theorem you will be using.
What does axiom means?
An axiom is a basic mathematical truth used in proofs, outlined initially by Euclid. Axioms are self-evident and do not need to be proven, they can be combined and used logically to prove more complex mathematical concepts, especially in geometry. Example: "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line."

An axiom or a is an accepted statement of fact?
A postulate is assumed to be a fact and used to derive conclusions. However, there is no assurance that the postulate is itself true and so all the derived conclusions may depend on a proposition that is not necessarily true. Euclid's fifth, or parallel) postulate in geometry is a notable example.
What is the difference between an axiom and a theorem?
An axiom is a self-evident statement that is assumed to be true. A theorem is proved to be true.
