In this note we wish to present an alternative proof for the following well-known theorem [1, Theorem 16]: every convex polytope X in Euclidean n-dimensional space Rn is the intersection of a finite family of closed half-spaces. It will be supposed that the converse of this theorem has been verified by conventional arguments, namely: every bounded intersection of a finite family of closed half-spaces in Rn is a convex polytope [cf. 1, Theorem 15].
