Homework Statement
Given that A and B are in a topology, show that if A is contained in B, then the interior of A is contained in B.
Homework Equations
The interior of A:={a: there exists a neighborhood which is a subset of A}
The Attempt at a Solution
I can prove that the interior of A is contained in OR EQUAL TO the interior of B but I am having trouble showing that they cannot be equal. I have tried setting int(A)=int(B) and working towards a contradiction to no avail.
