A proof is a very abstract thing. You can write a formal proof or an informal proof. An example of a formal proof is a paragraph proof. In a paragraph proof you use a lot of deductive reasoning. So in a paragraph you would explain why something can be done using postulates, theorems, definitions and properties. An example of an informal proof is a two-column proof. In a two-column proof you have two columns. One is labeled Statements and the other is labeled Reasons. On the statements side you write the steps you would use to prove or solve the problem and on the "reasons" side you explain your statement with a theorem, definition, postulate or property. Proofs are very difficult. You may want to consult a math teacher for help.
Based on the information given in he question, the assertion need not be true and so there can be no proof.
Yes, they can. This is done all the time in mathematics, logic and other areas. However, you must ensure that you either record the theorems used, or write them out in whole and attach them to the proof of the new theorem.
A two column proof....used only by high school teachers, to make their students bettter at organizing their thoughts, as it can be pretty overwhelming when you are jsut starting to do them. However, in the real world, no one actually uses this method to prove stuff. They use paragraph proofs, where you write out the proofs as if you were writing a paragraph, explaining your reasons for each thing along the way.
A geometry proof is a step-by-step explanation of the process you took to solve a problem. Instead of using numbers, you use words. There are two types of proofs: a paragraph proof, and a column proof. The column proof is the most common proof. In this proof, you must set up a t-chart. On the left side, you must write the steps you took to solve the problem. Make sure you number each step. On the right side, explain why you took this step. Make sure to number each explanation with the same number as the step on the left side you are explaining. Sources: Calculus III Student in 12th grade Took geometry in 8th grade
You list the steps of the proof in the left column, then write the matching reason for each step in the right column

He didn't write it. What he did was to write in the margin of a book that he had a proof but there was not enough space to write it there.

By definition, a theorem is a proven statement- until a proof is made for a statement, it is not a theorem but rather a conjecture. Whether you need to be able to reproduce the proof of a known theorem is another matter. If you trust the prover, I think you can make use of a theorem without knowing the proof. However, studying the proof can give you valuable insights into what the theorem really means and how it might be used. Also, reading proofs made by other people can help you prove you own theorems and write them up coherently.

You write an advice column by writing an advice column only you can know!!!!!! ]
a2 + b2 = c2
There cannot be a proof since the statement need not be true.
