  1. a postulate is a statement that is assumed to be correct
    but a theorem is a statement that is proven to be true
    a corollary is when you obtain or get something from a specific source like a theorem.
    a proposition is a statement that expresses an opinion

  2. A corollary is a special case of a general theorem.
    A proposition expresses an opinion.
    A postulate is a statement assumed to be true without proof.
    A theorem is a statement proven to be true

  3. A theorem is a rule that is proven to be correct.
    A postulate is a to suggestion for something to be true.
    A corollary is a statement that was made using other theorems, or statements.
    A proposition is a statement that expresses an opinion
    The difference between them is what origins they came from, or how reliable they are. Theorems are 100% correct, postulates are not 100% because there is no exact proof. Corollary have the same case as the postulates, and propositions are not very reliable.

  5. Postulate: A statement that can be taken without proof. Sometimes called an axiom.
    Theorem: A statement that is taken to be true by proof.
    Corollary: A statement that follows a statement, usually a theorem.
    Proposition: A choice to answer with true or false.

  6. Theorem: It is something that is proved using extremely and thorough reasoning and proof.
    Postulate:Postulate can be called axiom, and assumed to be true without proof.
    Corollary: A result in which a very short proof relies heavily on a given theorem such as this is a (corollary of triangle a).
    Proposition: A preposition is proved and interesting result, less important than a theorem. It can also be a mathematical statement such 7 is a prime number.

  7. theorem: a rule in algebra or other branches of mathematics expressed by symbols or formula.
    postulate: is a true statement, which does not to be proved.
    corollary: An immediate consequence of a result already proved.
    proposition: is declaration that can either be true or false, but not both.
