A theorem is a statement that needs to be proven using postulates, definitions, and other theorems..True/False

Sounds true to me. You also need a little something called logic to glue all that other stuff together into anything that can be called a ';proof.';A theorem is a statement that needs to be proven using postulates, definitions, and other theorems..True/False
Watch out! Technically, a theorem is a statement that HAS BEEN proven using postulates, definitions, and other theorems.





Until it's proven, you can't use it to prove other theorems.





If it's not yet proven, it's a hypothesis or a proposition.
