A proof in geometry is basically proving a specific thing, like this segement is congruent to this, or proving something is a parallelogram....there are all sorts of very different kinds of proofs. Proofs have to be logical to everyone, and following a reasonable thinking path, using definitions, postulates, and theorems as reasons along the way. Most commonly written in paragraph form(in the real world) and 2-column proofs in middle/high school, apparently to organize your thinking when you first start doing them.

An indirect proof is a way to do some proofs, like if it asks you to prove AX is not congruent to XY, then you would assume it is, and see how it goes from there, till you find a contradiction, and so the original assumption you made is false.
