proof of properties of extreme subsets of a closed convex set


For the first claim, it is obvious that iIAi is closed convex subset (http://planetmath.org/ConvexSet) of K. Let zA and 0<t<1, x,yK such as z=tx+(1-t)y. Then zAi, for all iI so we have that x,yAi for all iI. Therefore x,yiIAi.
For the second claim suppose x,yK, t(0,1) and zA such as z=tx+(1-t)y. From the hypothesis AB we have that zB and since B is an extreme subset of K, x,yB. Analogously from the hypothesis that A is an extreme subset of B, we have that x,yA.
