Corollary 4.1.19. Let \( \left( {X,\mathcal{B},\mu }\right) \) be a measure space. If \( B, C \in \mathcal{B} \) and \( \mu \left( C\right) = 0 \), then \( \mu \left( {B \cup C}\right) = \mu \left( B\right) \) .
Proof. The result follows from the inequalities\n\n\[ \mu \left( B\right) \leq \mu \left( {B \cup C}\right) \leq \mu \left( B\right) + \mu \left( C\right) = \mu \left( B\right) . \]
