The length of the sequence concatenated two sequences
Let $alpha$ be a finite sequence, and $|alpha|$ be the length of $alpha$.
Let $alpha_1, alpha_2$ be two finite sequences. Prove that $|alpha_1 alpha_2| = |alpha_1 |+|alpha_2|$. Where $alpha_1 alpha_2$ is just the concatenation of the sequences $alpha_1$ and $alpha_2$.
This looks very obvious. But I do not know what to do if I want to deal with it more precisely.

If you want to do this very formally, then we should start by asking what is your formal definition of sequence and concatenation. Then I suspect that your definition of concatenation will already contain the answer.
