Steps for Using Indirect Proofs Step 1 Assume the opposite of the conclusion (or prove statement). Step 2 Reason logically to show the assumption leads to a contradiction of a known fact. Be sure to explain your whys! Step 3 Conclude the assumption is false, which in turn proves the conclusion is true.
