Abstract	At the heart of geometry lies the art of mathematical proof—a disciplined process that transforms assumptions into irrefutable truths. This study investigates the critical role of proofs in geometry, from their ancient origins to their modern-day applications. By examining diverse proof techniques, including direct deduction, contradiction, and geometric construction, this paper highlights their use in both classical and alternative geometries. Landmark proofs, such as those for the Pythagorean theorem and the properties of parallel lines, serve as case studies demonstrating their profound impact on mathematical thought. Furthermore, the discussion extends to the educational value of proof-based learning in developing rigorous logical reasoning.
