Théorèmes

A mathematical statement of some importance that has been proven to be true. Minor theorems are often called propositions. Theorems which are not very interesting in themselves but are an essential part of a bigger theorem's proof are called lemmas.

Examples :

"In geometry class, we learned about several important theorems, such as the Pythagorean theorem, which helps us find the sides of right triangles. "

En cours de géométrie, nous avons appris plusieurs théorèmes importants, tels que le théorème de Pythagore, qui nous aide à trouver les côtés des triangles rectangles.
