Postulates need to be proven?
Such statements are called postulates in geometry and axioms in other areas. Definitions are also accepted without proof, but technically they are abbreviations rather than statements.
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."
What is difference in axiom and postulate?
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.
