Limit of measures is the measure of the intersection
$begingroup$
Suppose ${E_n}$ are measurable and suppose we have the following lemma:
If in addition, $E_n subseteq E_{n+1}$,
then lim$_{n rightarrow infty}$ $m(E_n)$ = $m(bigcup_{n=1}^{infty} E_n)$.
Then, prove:
If $E_n$ measurable, $m(E_1) < + infty$ AND $E_{n+1} subseteq E_n$,
THEN, lim$_{n rightarrow infty}$ $m(E_n)$ = $m(bigcap_{n=1}^{infty}E_n)$
So, Since the $E_n$ are measurable, we have monotonicity,
i.e.,
$E_{n+1} subseteq E_n$ $Rightarrow$ $m(E_{n+1}) leq m(E_n)$
but $m(E_1) < + infty$ gives us
$m(E_{n+1}) leq m(E_n) = k$ ; $forall n in mathbb{Z}^+$ and SOME $k in mathbb{R}$ (this denotes measure of $E_1$).
I get stuck on how to apply the Lemma, am I supposed to use the analogous version of the Lemma?
i.e., replacing $n$ with $n+1$?
and would this give
lim$_{n rightarrow infty}$ $m(E_{n+1})$ = $m(bigcup_{n=1}^{infty} E_{n+1})$??
or do I rewrite
$m(E_{n+1}$) = $m(E_n$) + $m(E_1)$
I highly doubt this, I never make assumptions in proofs I am not positive about and I never say I get something till it fully makes sense to me, please help, you can see where I am stuck. I apologize in advance if I am missing the obvious. I am merely a noob at measure theory.

$E_1setminus E_n$ increases to $E_1setminus cap_n E_n$, so $m(E_1setminus E_n) to m(E_1setminus cap_n E_n)$. This gives $m(E_1)-m(E_n) to m(E_1)-m(cap_n E_n)$. Cancel $m(E_1)$ to get the result.
