Let PI(RN) be a D1737: Set of real n-intervals.
Let Vol be the D1738: Euclidean real volume function on RN.
Let I and J each be a Euclidean real interval such that IJ. By definition, each of I and J are finite Cartesian products of some basic real intervals Ii1,,IiN and Ij1,,IjN, respectively. Denote the respective endpoints of these intervals as ai1,bi1,,aiN,biN and aj1,bj1,,ajN,bjN. Since I is contained in J, then the inequality |binain||bjnajn| holds for every 1nN. Result R1937: Monotonicity of finite unsigned real multiplication now implies Vol(I)=Vol(Nn=1Iin)=Nn=1|binain|Nn=1|bjnajn|=Vol(Nn=1Ijn)=Vol(J)
