A direct proof in geometry is a proof where you begin with a true hypothesis and prove that a conclusion is true.
When all the dimensions and angles are identical.
To prove a statement false, you need ONE example of when it is not true.To prove it true, you need to show it is ALWAYS true.
A statement that presents a possible solution to a problem is the hypothesis. You construct a hypothesis, then work to prove it. Basic geometry concentrates on proving various nypotheses.
Yes. You can use this to prove that two lines are parallel, in analytic geometry, i.e., geometry that uses coordinates.Yes.

In geometry, deductive rules can be used to prove conjectures.

To prove by contradiction, you assume that an opposite assumption is true, then disprove the opposite statement.

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.
