Question

which of the following types of statement can be used to explain the steps of a proof? check all that apply. a. guess b. postulate c. theorem d. conjecture

Explanation:

A postulate is a statement assumed to be true without proof and can be used in a proof. A theorem is a statement that has been proven and can also be used to justify steps in a proof. A guess is not a valid basis for proof steps as it lacks verification. A conjecture is an unproven statement and cannot be used to explain proof steps.

Answer:

B. Postulate, C. Theorem
