For fixed $a\in \Bbb{R}^d$ show that the family of functions $f_r (x)$ on $\Bbb{R}^d$ defined by

This is a problem from Harmonic Analysis, I was reading about Fourier Transform, more likely about Singular Integrals. Can anyone help me to prove this problem?

$f_r(x)= \frac{1}{|B(a, r)|}\chi B(a, r) (x)$

forms an approximate identity as $r\rightarrow 0. $

This term was used in Lebesgue's differentiation theorem's proof. Also no idea bout the term $\chi$.

in my opinion

$f_r(x)= \frac{1}{|B(x, r)|} \int_{B(x, r)}f(y)dy$

thank you
