Reason: New definition. Names Lebesgue measure on Euclidean space as the unique measure on the Borel sigma-algebra with the product values on Borel rectangles, so that the finite-product construction becomes citable as a single object.

Statement

Let n1n\ge1 be a natural number, let B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) be the Borel σ\sigma-algebra on Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and let λ\lambda be Lebesgue measure on the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of the real line.

Lebesgue measure on Rn\mathbb{R}^n is the measure λn\lambda_n on B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) satisfying

λn(A1××An)=λ(A1)λ(An)\lambda_n(A_1\times\dots\times A_n)=\lambda(A_1)\cdots\lambda(A_n)

for all Borel subsets A1,,AnA_1,\dots,A_n of R\mathbb{R}, the product being formed in [0,][0,\infty] with the conventions of Measure, Measure Space, and Probability Measure extended by a=a=a\cdot\infty=\infty\cdot a=\infty for 0<a0<a\le\infty. Exactly one measure on the σ\sigma-algebra Bn\mathcal{B}_n of Finite Products of Lebesgue Measure and Coordinate Integration on Rl\mathbb{R}^l has these values, by claim 1 there, and Bn=B(Rn)\mathcal{B}_n=\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) by claim 5 of The Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Euclidean Space as a Product, and Measurability of Projections, Sequentially Continuous Maps, and Open and Closed Sets; λn\lambda_n is that measure. For n=1n=1 it is λ\lambda itself.
