25 Οκτ 2010 · Postulate: Not proven but not known if it can be proven from axioms (and theorems derived only from axioms) Theorem: Proved using axioms and postulates. For example -- the parallel postulate of Euclid was used unproven but for many millennia a proof was thought to exist for it in terms of other axioms.
Postulate verbally means a fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief. Postulates are the basic structure from which lemmas and theorems are derived. Nowadays ‘axiom’ and ‘postulate’ are usually interchangeable terms.

Definition: Theorem. A theorem is a proposition that has been, or is to be, proved based on explicit assumptions.
10 Δεκ 2020 · Euclid’s Postulate 4 is super weird. It says: “all right angles are equal.” What kind of a postulate is that? 90 degrees equals 90 degrees? A right angle is equal to itself? Why would you need to state that as an axiom? And if you do need to state it as an axiom, why only right angles?
A postulate, also known as an axiom, is a statement that is accepted as true without proof. It serves as a starting point for building mathematical theories and systems. On the other hand, a theorem is a statement that has been proven using logical reasoning and previously established postulates or theorems.
