The skills you learn in doing geometry proofs, to prove something using minimal assumptions and logical arguments, will serve you well in many professions. Some fields that might require these skills, besides mathematics, are scientific research, law, business, economics, public relations, almost any career where you need to sometimes convince someone else to do or buy somethings.

Geometry proofs are used only by mathemeticians, and don't have direct application to real life. However, the figuring out and understanding of a geometry proof is an exercise in reasoning and analysis that can apply to many situations outside of geometry.

We don't. The statement-reason proofs are just set ups to help us write paragraph proofs. In college, or high school, if we ever use Geometry, we will need to write in paragraph proof form. In life, if you are an architect or have a job that requires the use of Geometry, the proofs you did in school will help to solve geometry problems encountered at work.

Not unless you get a job involving proving mathematical theroms and stuff. I, myself sort thought of that since I'm in geometry and we just did proofs.

well, if you are considering graduating from high school, you will need to know them, because they are on tests, and also other math will make more sense if you understand proofs. i'm really not kidding with you on that one.

then again, if you pursue a career with alot of geometry, you will use them also.

proofs are logic. if you wanted to make sense of a problem, you are going to need to understand logic.

You won't unless you're going to be a Professor or want a degree in mathematics, then you will. At least for most of the time; otherwise you wouldn't need to. But it is a requirement to learn to get into college, one of the requirements.

If you decide to become a geometry teacher.
But they are good for developing logical reasoning which can be used in any profession.

It depends on what you want to do in your life. Most careers, it won't have anything to do with what you will be doing, but if you are a math major (or on math team or any mathematics clubs) you HAVE to know how to do them, and do them correctly. If you discover something in mathematics, you have to be able to prove it.

confident, take a image of a face and shrink it on height what do you spot? the face will become deformed question? what are you able to do? you may desire to make the lenght smaller too question: how plenty you may desire to shrink the photograph on length such that the proportions of the face proceed to be unchanged

Probably in business or something but in nothing else i could think of its pretty much useless.
