Reason: New lemma: a closed ball for the Euclidean distance on R^n is a convex subset and is compact in the metric topology.

Statement

Let nn be a natural number with 1n1\le n, let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers with the order \le of its ordered field structure, let xx be a point of Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, regarded as a real vector space by Euclidean Space Rn\mathbb{R}^n is a Real Vector Space, and let rRr\in\mathbb{R} satisfy 0r0\le r. Let dEd_E be the Euclidean distance, a metric by Euclidean Distance is a Metric on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, let TdE\mathcal{T}_{d_E} be the collection of subsets of Rn\mathbb{R}^n that are open in (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^n,d_E), a topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology, and let BˉdE(x,r)\bar{B}_{d_E}(x,r) be the closed ball in (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^n,d_E).

Then the following hold.

1. (Convexity) BˉdE(x,r)\bar{B}_{d_E}(x,r) is a convex subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^n.

2. (Compactness) BˉdE(x,r)\bar{B}_{d_E}(x,r) is compact in (Rn,TdE)(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{T}_{d_E}).
