Let RN be a D816: Euclidean real Cartesian product.
Let Vol be the D1738: Euclidean real volume function on RN.
Let IRN be D3036: Real N-interval.
Let xRN. By definition, I is a Cartesian product of some basic real intervals I1,,IN. Let a1,b1,,aN,bN be the endpoints of I1,,IN, respectively. Result R2970: The four classes of real intervals are each closed under translation states that each interval I1,,IN, when translated by x1,,xN, respectively, is again a basic real interval with respective endpoints a1+x1,b1+x1,,aN+xN,bN+xN. Applying R2968: Euclidean real Cartesian product of translations then yields Vol(I+x)=Vol(Nn=1(In+xn))=Vol(Nn=1|(bn+xn)(an+xn)|)=Vol(Nn=1|bnan|)=Vol(Nn=1In)=Vol(I) Since xRN was arbitrary, the claim follows.
