A statement to prove. It may be a theorem or not.
A starting point that is based on information that is given.
A sequence of steps based on logical application of axioms or theorems (in geometry or mathematics).
These must conclude with the statement that you set out to prove.
An alternative (reductio ad absurdum) is to start with the assumption of the truth of the negation of the statement that you wish to prove. Again using logical methods, show that this must lead to a contradiction and therefore, the assumption must be false and thus the statement must be true.

postulates
There is no single statement that describes a geometric proof.
Steps in a geometric proof do not require support
Both the algebraic proof and geometric proof are strong. The algebraic proof however is usually very involving.
A theorem to prove. A series of logical statements. A series of reasons for the statements. answer theorem to prove
Theorems is what is proven with the geometric proof.
A proof that uses techniques from geometry.
