But weren't the multiplication and addition rules set such that this visual proof holds true? Not the other way around.

- larodi 2y agothis again opens the question what does multiplication actually mean. if you approach it geometrically the metric is something^squared, if you approach it as numbers - its not that straightforward on the numbers line.
- nuancebydefault 2y agoAlso it leans on the premise a x b (orthogonally measured) equals surface and that cutting pieces off surfaces leads to subtraction. Are those premises definitions or not, is a valid question.
