Proofs contain given information and a statement to be proven. You use deductive reasoning to create an argument with justification of steps using theorems, postulates, and definitions. Then you arrive at a conclusion.

The main parts of a proof are the statements and the reasons. The statements are things you want to prove, and the reasons are the justifications for the statements. Some parts of a proof will provide a given statement or a visual with some congruency.

I hope this helps!
