Postulates are accepted as true without proof, and theorems have been proved true. Kudos on the correct spelling/punctuation/grammar, by the way.

How would you describe direct proof geometry?

A logical chain of steps, supported by postulates,defentions, and theroems, to prove a statement is true. -ERA -2-


Why is it necessary to use postulates in geometry?

Postulates are statements that prove a fact. An example would be that 2 points create a line segment. You usually use postulates in proofs.


Do postulates need to be proven?

No. Postulates are the foundations of geometry. If you said they were wrong then it would be saying that Euclidean geometry is wrong. It is like if you asked how do we know that English is right. It is how the English language works. So no postulates do not need to be proven.

Why are postulates not proved in geometry?

postulates cannot be proved, they are the base of geometry and there isn't anything to prove it with. if the postulates were wrong then all of euclidian geometry would be wrong. that is like saying how do we know the English language is correct, it is the basis for communication and if it wasn't, then how would speaking the language work?


What is the meaning of postulates?

The word postulates means to believe something because you assume it to be real or true. An example would be that a paranormal researcher postulates that a ghost moved a glass of water to the other side of a room.


What kind of statements would you prove with a geometric proof?

Riders, lemmas, theorems.


What would you use to support statements thst make up a geometric proof?

Proven Theorems.. Plato ;)


How would you describe the nucleus of sodium?

A nucleus having 11 protons and 12 neutrons is a sodium nucleus, no of neutrons may differ in case of isotopes.


When would you use pythagorean theorm?

Any time you measure distance using triangulation or utilise angles in theorems.


Why do wee use network theorems and techniques to solve electrical circuits?

network theorems are nothing but the special cases of KCL and KVL .....applying these for each and every branch in a huge network of multiple branches would be a hideous task so by using network theorems this problem can be removed. various network theorems are :- 1. mesh analysis 2.nodal analysis 3.thevenin and norton theorems 4.dual networks 5.source transformations in general these theorems are used for solving any circuit consisting of 5-6 loops ,for much complicated networks there are methods based on graph thoery like cut-set method , tri-sec method etc. these methods are difficult when we apply these in simple network but they serve as a very powerfull tool when we apply these on extremely complicated networks


When are you ever going to use theorems from geometry?

Geometry has a variety of applications from engineering to the physical sciences. It is also used in construction and art. However, most would probably never use a theorem from geometry directly. So why do we study the theorems of geometry? It has to do with learning to think clearly and critically. Theorems are deduced based on axioms and rules of logic. Learning to prove the theorems or even just understand them can do much to increase your reasoning skills. With better reasoning skills you can distinguish good arguments from bad ones and increase your problem solving ability.
