Question

which is a mathematical statement consisting of a hypothesis and conclusion that has to be proven true?
○ definition

Explanation:

• A definition is a statement that explains the meaning of a term, not a statement to be proven.
• A diagram is a visual representation, not a mathematical statement with a hypothesis and conclusion to prove.
• A postulate (or axiom) is a statement that is accepted as true without proof.
• A theorem is a mathematical statement that has a hypothesis and a conclusion and must be proven true using logical reasoning and previously established statements (definitions, postulates, other theorems).
