One cannot have a theory (theorem) without proof. Theories are explanations (models with uses such as predicting on outcome of an experiment or event) for scientific laws, which only describe the phenomenon. Proof is anything that backs up a hypothesis. When a significant amount of proof is shown, the hypothesis becomes a theory due to it being accepting by the scientific community.

What you the difference between a postulate and a theorem?
A postulate is something that is accepted as true without proof. A theorem, on the other hand, is something that has been proven and is now being accepted as true.
What is the difference between a postulate and theorem in Geometry?
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.
What is the difference between the pythagorean theorem and the converse of the pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a2 + b2 = c2. The converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that, if in a triangle with sides a, b, c, a2 + b2 = c2 then the triangle is right and the angle opposite side c is a right angle.
which of these correctly fills in the blank 2 in the proof given line x....?

Find the distance between the points -10 8 and -2 -7?
Use Pythagoras' Theorem: calculate the square root of ((difference of x-coordinates)2 + (difference of y-coordinates)2).
What is the difference between an axiom and a theorem?
An axiom is a self-evident statement that is assumed to be true. A theorem is proved to be true.

What is the difference between a theorem and property?
A theorem is a statement that has been proven on the basis of previously established statements. Property is something that needs no proof, such as a variable "a" in an equation will be equal to all other "a"s in the equation.

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.
Can a corollary be solved with a theorem?
No. A corollary goes a little bit further than a theorem and, while most of the proof is based on the theorem, the extra bit needs additional proof.

What is the difference in the distance formula and the Pythagorean theorem?
The difference in the distance formula and the pythagorean theorem is that the distance formula finds the distance between two points while the pythagorean theorem usually finds the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
How does postulate becomes a theorem.?
When a postulate has been proven it becomes a theorem.
