Which type of statement must be proven true in geometry?
Every statement apart from the axioms or postulates.
Which types of statements can justify the steps of proof?
Theorems, definitions, corollaries, and postulates
Why is it necessary to use postulates in geometry?
Postulates are statements that prove a fact. An example would be that 2 points create a line segment. You usually use postulates in proofs.
Are postulates accepted as true without proof?
Yes, postulates are "given", as the bases for the construction of the system.
Do postulates need to be proven?
No. Postulates are the foundations of geometry. If you said they were wrong then it would be saying that Euclidean geometry is wrong. It is like if you asked how do we know that English is right. It is how the English language works. So no postulates do not need to be proven.
