Let be a Cauchy sequence in a compact metric space . By sequential compactness of a compact metric space, it has a convergent subsequence . Given , choose such that whenever , and then choose such that and . For every , the triangle inequality gives
Thus the whole sequence converges to . Every Cauchy sequence converges in , so is a complete metric space.
