Let be a finite Ramsey witness for under colors. Choose a finite witness for under colors. Given a coloring of , color each by the complete vectorThere is a copy on which this vector is constant. Thus, for each , the color is independent of . These values define a -coloring of , which has a monochromatic copy . Then is a monochromatic isometric copy of . This proves the product theorem for Euclidean Ramsey sets.
Every nondegenerate triangle and every line segment is a Euclidean Ramsey set. If is the given acute triangle and is a segment of length in a new orthogonal coordinate, then is exactly the vertex set of the triangular prism with base and height . The product theorem therefore makes it Euclidean Ramsey.
