Such statements are called postulates in geometry and axioms in other areas.
Definitions are also accepted without proof, but technically they are abbreviations rather than statements.

what are the postulates of the theroy
Do postulates need to be proven?
No. Postulates are the foundations of geometry. If you said they were wrong then it would be saying that Euclidean geometry is wrong. It is like if you asked how do we know that English is right. It is how the English language works. So no postulates do not need to be proven.

What is a statement or conjecture that can be proven true by undefined terms definitions and postulates?
Theorem
Which type of statement must be proven true in geometry?
Every statement apart from the axioms or postulates.
What is a therome in math?
A therom in math is a law that has been proven by using other theroms or postulates. They are commonly found in Geometry and above.
Can postulates be used to solve theorems?
No. A postulate need not be true.
What is the difference between a postulate and theorem in Geometry?
A postulate is assumed to be true while a theorem is proven to be true. The truth of a theorem will be based on postulates.
Do definitions need to be proven?
False. Definitions do not need to be proven.
Who developed postulates?
Postulates were first used by the Early Greeks.
What are the postulates and theorems?
Postulates are statements that are assumed to be true without proof. Theorums are statements that can be deduced and proved from definitions, postulates, and previously proved theorums.
What are kock's postulates?
They are a set of conditions which need to be fullfilled to prove that a specific organism causes a specific disease.
What is the postulate when two angles are corresponding?
I do not believe there are any postulates: they can be proved and therefore are not postulates.
