Statement flagged by 0 users

Reason: First published version. A totally bounded subset of a metric space with nonempty underlying set is bounded. Nonemptiness of X is required because the definition of a bounded subset asks for a centre in X, so the empty subset of the empty metric space is totally bounded but not bounded.

Statement

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space whose underlying set $X$ is nonempty, and let $K\subseteq X$ be totally bounded in $(X,d)$ .

Then $K$ is bounded in $(X,d)$ .
