Question 597291: Please help me answer this question .
Which of the following cannot be used to prove theorems in geometry ?
( standard 1.0 )
A. Postulates
B. Conjectures
C. Other Theorems
D. Definitions
I know it cannot be C because ive seen my teacher prove theorems with other theorems. Im just not sure what a conjecture is ?
I do know a postualte is a statement that is true, but there isnt the proof required to prove it.

Sample conjecture:

"I think the moon is made of green cheese, but I can't prove it and I'm not certain enough of the concept to call it a postulate, nor is the idea definition in any sense of the word."
