Yes, that would be true.
This would be your hypothesis, you would then test your hypothesis by finding teenagers and seeing how old they are.
If a statistically significant number of professed teenagers are at least thirteen years old, then you have proved your hypothesis and it is now a theory.
Of course, if you find a twelve year old teenager, you will have to revise your theory in the light of new scientific evidence.

hypothesis...to be a teenager, you must be at least thirteen.
Field testing for your conclusion will state that thirteen is the youngest age possible that 'teen' appears as a sort of suffix for the first time. Now, the last time that teen appears, in succession, is nineteen...therefore, your conclusion (mildly back by proof), is that teenagers range in age from 13-19.
This is not really geometry, but, I do admire the way you are taking a hypothesis and trying to prove it a theory

The hypothesis is "All teenagers are at least 13 years old". There's no "conclusion" unless you can test against it with examples.

The hypothesis is "you are a teenager" or "If you are a teenager".
The conclusion is "you are at least 13 years old".

Hypothesis is what's after "if"; conclusion is what's after "then".
