<p>Assume $\mathbf{d}:\mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_0^+$ is a metric such that the function $\psi(x)=\mathbf{d}(x,y)$ for any $y\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is continuous in the Euclidean metric. Moreover, assume that $\mathcal{A}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ is a closed set. My question: is $\phi(x)=\mathbf{d}(x,\mathcal{A})$ a continuous function in Euclidean metric? Note that $\mathbf{d}(x,\mathcal{A})$ is point to set distance. </p>

Thanks Phil! Sorry if the question was silly.
