What do you call a statement in geometry that requires proof?
Theorems are statements in geometry that require proof.
What is the difference between proof and postulate?
A proof uses postulates and theorems to prove some statement.
Can a theorem justify a statement in a geometric proof?
Yes. That is what theorems are for. Once proven, their results do not need to be justified again (except for exams).
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".
What does theorem mean in geometry?
A theorem is a statement or proposition which is not self-evident but which can be proved starting from basic axioms using a chain of reasoned argument (and previously proved theorems).
What is a statement that can be proved by a chain of reasoning?
A theorem is a statement that has been proven by other theorems or axioms.
In a geometric proof what can be used to explain a statement?
Axioms and logic (and previously proved theorems).

Theorems are statements in geometry that require proof.
What is the difference between proof and postulate?
A proof uses postulates and theorems to prove some statement.
What term applies to the statement the choice to do something is the choice not to do something else?
Opportunity cost applies to the statement the choice to do something is the choice not to do something else.

Opportunity cost applies to the statement the choice to do something is the choice not to do something else.
What are some words that mean the opposite of theory?
A theorem is an unproven statement; a proven statement is a fact. A theory is a set of theorems; a theory which has been proven can be called a law or a rule.
Can a theorem justify a statement in a geometric proof?
Yes. That is what theorems are for. Once proven, their results do not need to be justified again (except for exams).
Which statement applies to modern commodity markets?
they are global
How many theorems is Pythagoras responsible for?
6 theorems
Which types of statements can justify the steps of proof?
which of the following types of statement can be used to explain the steps of proof?
What statement applies to the horizontal rows or periods in the periodic table.?
The statement applies to the horizontal rows or periods in the Periodic Table is that properties change going across each row.
