an axiom is a fact/property such as "ac = ca"
a ruler measures the distance and a protractor measures the angles
An axiom is a self-evident statement that is assumed to be true. A theorem is proved to be true.
A proof uses postulates and theorems to prove some statement.
postulate theorems tell that the lines are parallel, but the converse if asking you to find if the lines are parallel.

Playfair Axiom
parallel postulate
A postulate or axiom
A postulate or axiom is an accepted statement of fact.
In classical studies, it is also called a postulate.
a ruler measures the distance and a protractor measures the angles
An axiom is a self-evident statement that is assumed to be true. A theorem is proved to be true.
Another name for the Playfair Axiom is the Euclid's Parallel Postulate. It states that given a line and a point not on that line, there is exactly one line parallel to the given line passing through the given point.
properties are based on axioms
A postulate is assumed to be true while a theorem is proven to be true. The truth of a theorem will be based on postulates.
