Q1- Define dA : X → R by

dA(x) = inf{d(x,y) : y ∈ A}.
Prove that dA is bounded and uniformly continuous. Moreover, show

that for all x,y ∈ X,

|dA(x) − dA(y)| ≤ d(x, y).
The function dA measures how close is the point x from A. Now, Let

Aε ={x∈X :dA(x)<ε}. We refer to Aε as the ε-neighborhood of A.

For every finite partition γ of X and every ε > 0, let γ(ε) = ? Aε × Aε.
