HINT: There are a lot more theorems than postulates.

palindromeman · Answer

a postulate would be that all triangles add up to 180 degrees

palindromeman · Answer

A thereom is a2 + b2 = c2

neonumbrella5115 · Answer

Actually, @Palindromeman it is a thermo that all triangles retriceup to 180 degrees.  An example of a Postulate is a line contains a least 2 points.

Palindromeman, the idea that all angles in a triangle add to 180 is something that needs to be proven. So it's actually a theorem.
