A Sequentially Compact Subset of a Metric Space is Totally Bounded

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, and let K⊆XK\subseteq X be sequentially compact in (X,d)(X,d).

Then for every real number ε>0\varepsilon>0 there exists a finite subset F⊆KF\subseteq K such that

K⊆⋃a∈FBd(a,ε),K\subseteq\bigcup_{a\in F}B_d(a,\varepsilon),

where Bd(a,ε)B_d(a,\varepsilon) is the open ball in XX with center aa and radius ε\varepsilon, and where the union over the empty set is empty. In particular KK is totally bounded in (X,d)(X,d).
