What is the difference between a geometric theorem and a geometric conjecture?

  1. A geometric theorem is a statement that has been proven to be true, while a geometric conjecture is a statement that has not been proven to be true.

  2. A geometric theorem is a statement that is true for all cases, while a geometric conjecture is a statement that is true for some cases.

  3. A geometric theorem is a statement that is based on logical reasoning, while a geometric conjecture is a statement that is based on intuition.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A

A geometric theorem is a statement that has been proven to be true, while a geometric conjecture is a statement that has not been proven to be true.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

  1. In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

  2. In a right triangle, the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

  3. In a right triangle, the square of the shortest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
