Ihr und Ihre sind förmlich, wenn man jemanden persönlich anspricht.
Wie geht es Ihnen? (Persönliche Anrede)
Wenn man über jemand anderes spricht.
Weiblich:
Kann ich Ihr (der Frau, dem Mädchen) helfen?
Ich habe Ihre Kleidung. (Ich habe Marias Kleidung. Ich habe Lisas Kleidung. Ich habe Kleidung von Lisa.)
Männlich:
Kenne ich Ihn (den Jungen, den Mann?
Ich möchte ihn (den Mann, den Jungen) etwas schenken.
Plural:
Ich möchte ihnen etwas schenken.
euer/eure benutzt man eher im Plural und in Fragen
Ist das euer Haus?
Sind das eure Kleider?
Kann ich euch helfen?

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- German
'Euer/Eure' benutzt man nur im Plural (weil euer 2. Person Plural ist) und nicht nur in Fragen. Zum Beispiel: Eure Wohnung ist sehr schön.
Eure Klausur ist gut ausgefallen. Euer Schnitt ist 2,1.

*wenn man über eine dritte Person spricht, ist „ihr“/„ihre“ klein geschrieben
Kann ich ihr helfen? (der Frau)
Wie alt sind ihre Kinder? (der Frau/dem Ehepaar)
Wie alt sind Ihre Kinder? => Höflichkeitsform, du sprichst direkt mit der Person
Sind das eure Schuhe? => z.B. wenn du zwei Kinder fragst (2. Form Plural)
Sind das Eure Schuhe? => kann als sehr höfliche Anrede verwendet werden; ich würde sagen, eine Einzelperson so anzusprechen ist mehrheitlich veraltet

Ihr means "her" when the following Noun is masculin or neuter and ihre is used when it is feminine or plural. (In German, the plural often is handled as if it would be just another grammatical gender.)
ihr can also mean "you" plural/ "you all" when used in nominative and it can mean her when used in dative.
Habt ihr ihr gesagt, dass ich sie mag? (Did you (guys) told her that I like her?)
Habt ihr ihre Tasche genommen? Did you guys take her bag?
When ihre is written with a capital letter (Ihre) it means your [formal, plural and sigular].
Haben Sie Ihre Tasche vergessen? Did you forget your bag?
Just google "German personal pronoun chart" or "possessive pronouns case table" and you will find a table which will make it clear for you to where to use ihr/ihre/ihren/ihrem/Ihre/Ihren/Ihrem and so on. ;)
