proof

let x, y be Element of [:the carrier of X,the carrier of Y,the carrier of Z:]; :: thesis: f1 . x,y = f2 . x,y
consider x1 being Element of X, x2 being Element of Y, x3 being Element of Z such that
A5: x = [x1,x2,x3] by DOMAIN_1:15;
consider y1 being Element of X, y2 being Element of Y, y3 being Element of Z such that
A6: y = [y1,y2,y3] by DOMAIN_1:15;
thus f1 . x,y = ((dist x1,y1) + (dist x2,y2)) + (dist x3,y3) by A3, A5, A6
.= f2 . x,y by A4, A5, A6 ; :: thesis: verum

end;

hence f1 = f2 by BINOP_1:2; :: thesis: verum
