Let $(X, d(x,y))$ be a complete metric space. Prove that if $A\subseteq X$ is a closed set, then $A$ is also complete.
My attempt: I tried to prove that every Cauchy sequence $(b_n)$ of points of $A$ converges to a point $b\in A$. However could not figure out the exit way. Maybe I am on the wrong track. Could you please help me?
edit: More from my attempt:
Suppose $A$ is a closed set and let $(x_n)$ be a sequence of points $A$ such that $\lim_n x_n\to b$.
Suppose now that $A$ has the property that $b\in A$, whenever $x_n$ converges to $b$. We know that every element of $x_n$ which is convergent in $X$ also converges to a point in $A$. Since $x_n$ is a Cauchy sequence in $A$, it must converge to a point $y\in A$. But the limit of a convergent sequence is unique.
Take $x\in A$ and select an appropriate $n$, which enables $x_n$ to converge to a point $x$ in $X$. Since the limit is unique, it must follow that $x=y$. Thus $x\in A$ and $A$ is closed.
If $A$ is a closed subset of $X$, then any Cauchy sequence of a point in $A$ is convergent in $X$ and hence converges to a point in $A$. Thus $A$ is complete.
