Each coordinate projection is compact, hence a Lebesgue measurable set, because it is the continuous image of the compact set . Its -dimensional measure is finite. Choose any nonnegative integrable function on with integral one, and defineIf , every projection belongs to . If , . Thus for every , , so the introductory estimate applies. Tonelli theorem gives , andSubstitute these values and raise to the th power:This proves the geometric Loomis--Whitney inequality, including zero-volume sets or zero-measure projections, without any division by their measures.
