Lebesque measure of a compact set and a line












2












$begingroup$


I am trying to work out the problem below. My only idea at the moment is that the compactness of $K$ gives me convergent subsequences. Any help would be appreciated.



Suppose that $K$ is a compact subset of the unit square $[0, 1]^2$
in $R^2$ and the two-dimensional Lebesgue measure of $K$ is greater than 1/2. Show that there are infinitely
many lines $L$ in $R^2$
such that $m_L(K ∩ L) > 1/2$, where $m_L$ is the one-dimensional
Lebesgue measure on the line $L$.

Denote by $mu$ the Lebesgue measure over $[0,1]$. The 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure over $[0,1]^2$ is given by the product measure $lambda=mutimes mu$ and using Fubini we have:



$$lambda(K)=int 1_K(x,y) dlambda(x,y)=int_{0}^1left (int_0^1 1_K(x,y) dmu(x)right ) dmu(y)$$



Now if there are only finitely many lines $L$ such that $Lcap K$ has length bigger than $frac{1}{2}$ we would have $$int_0^1 1_K(x,y) dmu(x)leq frac{1}{2}$$



from where $$lambda(K)leqint_{0}^1frac{1}{2} dmu=frac{1}{2}$$
and this contradicts the hypothesis.

    from where $$lambda(K)leqint_{0}^1frac{1}{2} dmu=frac{1}{2}$$
    and this contradicts the hypothesis.
