Reason: First published proof on the corrected definition. Compactness gives total boundedness, and since R^n is nonempty because it contains the origin, a totally bounded subset of a nonempty metric space is bounded.

Proof

By A Compact Subset of a Metric Space is Totally Bounded, applied to the metric space (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^n,d_E) and the subset AA, compactness of AA in (Rn,TdE)(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{T}_{d_E}) gives that AA is totally bounded in (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^n,d_E).

The underlying set Rn\mathbb{R}^n is nonempty, since it contains the origin 0Rn0_{\mathbb{R}^n}. Hence A Totally Bounded Subset of a Nonempty Metric Space is Bounded applies to (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^n,d_E) and AA, and shows that AA is bounded in (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^n,d_E).
