For a planar Lebesgue measurable set , its vertical section is a one-dimensional Lebesgue measurable set for almost everywhere. Write with a planar Borel set and a Borel Lebesgue null set. Every section and is Borel; Tonelli's theorem gives . Thus for almost everywhere, and proves the assertion by Completeness of Lebesgue measure. No finite-measure condition on is needed.
Exceptional sections need not be measurable: is a planar Lebesgue null set for every , even when is a non-measurable set. Conversely, if both and are non-measurable, cannot be measurable. Otherwise every would have to lie in the null exceptional set, making measurable by Completeness of Lebesgue measure.
False. Take and any non-measurable set . The vertical line is a planar Lebesgue null set: each segment can be enclosed in rectangles of arbitrarily small area, and the line is a countable union of these segments. Consequently its subset is a Lebesgue measurable set of planar measure zero, by Completeness of Lebesgue measure.
A nonempty factor can therefore have too little Lebesgue measure to transmit the other factor's failure of measurability. Its exceptional vertical section at is consistent with Lebesgue measurable sections being guaranteed only almost everywhere.
