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.

What are analytic synthetic and vector techniques for proofs in geometry?

Analytic typically refers to a utilization of the coordinate plane. These proofs contain variable coordinates, such as (a,2b), and rely heavily on algebraic properties and formulas. Synthetic proofs refer to the use of geometric properties and postulates, such as the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, or the Partition Postulate. Vector proofs are proofs that use vector addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication to prove a hypothesis.
