Here is theorem 5.2.5 in the book Introduction to Banach Space Theory by Megginson:




Let $X$ be a nored space that is not zero-dimensional if the scalar field is $mathbb C$ and is neither zero- nor one-dimensional if scalar field is $mathbb R$. Let $delta_1,delta_2:[0,2]to [0,1]$ defined by
$$delta_1(epsilon)=inf{1-|frac 12(x+y)|: x,yin S_X,|x-y|=epsilon}\
delta_2(epsilon)=inf{1-|frac 12(x+y)|: x,yin B_X,|x-y|=epsilon}\
$$
Show that $delta_1=delta_2$.




Notation: $B_X$ and $S_X$ are respectively the closed unit ball and unit sphere.



proof of this theorem based on the following lemma:




Let $X$ be a nored space that is not zero-dimensional if the scalar field is $mathbb C$ and is neither zero- nor one-dimensional if scalar field is $mathbb R$. If $x_0in S_X$ and $y_0in B_X$, then there are members $x_1,y_1in S_X$ such that $x_1-y_1=x_0-y_0$ and $|frac12(x_1+y_1)|geq |frac 12(x_0+y_0)|$.




It's clear that $delta_2leq delta_1, $However I dont understand the first part(the following paragraph) of the proof:



suppose that $0<epsilonleq 2$, that $x_0,y_0in B_X$ and that $|x_0-y_0|=epsilon$. to prove the claim it sufices to show that $delta_1(epsilon)leq 1-|frac12(x_0+y_0)|$. Suppose for the moment that $x_0,y_0$ have norm less than one. then there are two closed line segment of length $epsilon$ on the line through $x_0$ and $y_0$ such that each segment has one endpoint in $S_X$ and the other in $B_X^circ$. since $frac12(x_0+y_0)$ is a convex combination of the midpoints of these two segment, the midpoint of at least one of these two segments has norm at least $|frac12(x_0+y_0)|$, so it may be assumed that $x_0in S_X$.



The rest of the proof is easy by using the lemma.



why it may be assumed $x_0in S_X$?

          Because we just found a segment length $epsilon$ which has one endpoint (denote it by $x’_0$) in $S_X$, the other (denote it by $y’_0$) in $B_X^circ$ such that the norm of its midpoint $|frac12(x’_0+y’_0)|$ is at least $|frac12(x_0+y_0)|$. So we consider $x’_0$ as a new $x_0$ and $y’_0$ as a new $y_0$.

            why it may be assumed $x_0in S_X$?




            Because we just found a segment length $epsilon$ which has one endpoint (denote it by $x’_0$) in $S_X$, the other (denote it by $y’_0$) in $B_X^circ$ such that the norm of its midpoint $|frac12(x’_0+y’_0)|$ is at least $|frac12(x_0+y_0)|$. So we consider $x’_0$ as a new $x_0$ and $y’_0$ as a new $y_0$.
