Balls Have Positive Lebesgue Measure and Bounded Sets Have Finite Lebesgue Measure

Statement

Let n≥1n\ge1 be a natural number, let λn\lambda_n be Lebesgue measure on the Borel σ\sigma-algebra B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) of Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and let dd be the Euclidean distance, a metric on Rn\mathbb{R}^n whose open sets form a topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology. Metric and topological notions below refer to dd and that topology.

1. (Balls) For every x0∈Rnx_0\in\mathbb{R}^n and every real number r>0r>0, the open ball of centre x0x_0 and radius rr is a Borel set of positive λn\lambda_n-measure.

2. (Bounded sets) Every bounded set B∈B(Rn)B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) satisfies λn(B)<∞\lambda_n(B)<\infty.

3. (Compact sets) Every compact subset KK of Rn\mathbb{R}^n is a Borel set with λn(K)<∞\lambda_n(K)<\infty.
