it is called a conjecture
There is no conjecture about the sum of the first 30 positive even numbers. The answer can be derived and proven. A statement that has been proven is no longer a conjecture.
One possible conjecture is that it has one median which coincides with the corresponding altitude.
Conjecture: a statement which may or may not be true.Postulate: a statement that is believed to be true, but may not be.Theorem: a statement that has been proved to be true provided some postulates are true.Corollary: a statement whose truth follows from the truth of a theorem, but one which is not important enough to call it a theorem.
