postulates are rules that are accepted without proof and theorems are true statements that follow as a result of other true statements.

postulate theorems tell that the lines are parallel, but the converse if asking you to find if the lines are parallel.


What is the difference between proof and postulate?

No. A postulate need not be true.


Is BSE TES if so identify the postulate of theorem that applies?

BSE TES stands for Balance Scale Equivalence Teorem Theorem Exposing Strategy. It is not clear what postulate or theorem is being referred to in this context, as the abbreviation does not match any commonly known mathematical postulates or theorems.

Does a postulate need to be proved?

yes no. ( a second opinion) A postulate is assumed without proof. Postulate is a word used mostly in geometry. At one time, I think people believed that postulates were self-evident . In other systems, statements that are assumed without proof are called axioms. Although postulates are assumed when you make mathematical proofs, if you doing applied math. That is, you are trying to prove theorems about real-world systems, then you have to have strong evidence that your postulates are true in the system to which you plan to apply your theorems. You could then say that your postulates must be "proved" but this is a different sense of the word than is used in mathematical proving.


Which postulate or theorem can be used to prove that SEA?

To prove that triangle SEA is congruent to another triangle, you can use the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Postulate. This postulate states that if two sides of one triangle are equal to two sides of another triangle, and the angle included between those sides is also equal, then the triangles are congruent. Additionally, if you have information about the angles and sides that meet the criteria of the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) or Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence theorems, those could also be applicable.


What is the difference between axiom and theorem?

The axioms are the initial assumptions. The theorems are derived, by logical reasoning, from the axioms - or from other, previously derived, theorems.


What is the difference between and axiom and a postulate?

There is no difference - synonymous.


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.
