Prove that 2>1 (Prove that 2 is greater than 1. There is a mathematical way to prove it.)

Let there be an equilateral Triangle with each side equal to "A" units.

We know that the sum of any two sides of the triangle is always greater than the third side.

So, A+A>A

or, 2A>A

which implies that, yes you guessed it right....

2>1.

Use an equilateral triangle. Side a=side b has to be greater than side c. If less than or equil to there will only be a line

2>1.

If ">" is not already defined on the natural numbers, then it's certainly not defined on the reals.

That would exclude the use of the triangle inequality.

So, can you provide a definition of ">" that does not immediately require that 2>1 without further proof?
