Something suggested or assumed as proof for reasoning, discussion or belief.
An axiom is a self-evident statement that is assumed to be true. A theorem is proved to be true.
True. An indirect proof, also known as proof by contradiction, involves assuming that the statement to be proven is false. From this assumption, logical deductions are made, ultimately leading to a contradiction or an impossible situation, which implies that the original statement must be true. This method is often used in mathematical reasoning to establish the validity of a statement.
Postulates are statements that are assumed to be true without proof. Theorums are statements that can be deduced and proved from definitions, postulates, and previously proved theorums.
It is a type of indirect proof: more specifically, a proof by contradiction.
"In mathematics, a proof is a demonstration that if some fundamental statements (axioms) are assumed to be true, then some mathematical statement is necessarily true." (from Wikipedia)
An indirect proof is another name for a proof by contradiction. This is where the original premise is assumed to be false and then attempted to be proven. Because this proof turns out to be false, the original premise is then true.

postulate is something that is assumed to be true wthout any proof, but the hypothesis is something not considered to be true or false wthout a proof or further experimentations (bakhtawar tufail)

It means to proof with a statement that is assumed true and if the assumption leads to an impossibility, then the statement is false and you have to create a new one. You use variables, its not necessary to use numbers and make a real equation. -ccs
A rule that is assumed to be true, but is not proven is a postulate
Postulates are statements that are assumed to be true without proof. Theorums are statements that can be deduced and proved from definitions, postulates, and previously proved theorums.
It is a type of indirect proof: more specifically, a proof by contradiction.
Postulates are assumed truths that are used as the bases for reasoning, beliefs and discussions. These statements do not often require proof.
