Corollary 41.5 (Invariance of domain):

Suppose $ U$ and $ V$ are homeomorphic subsets of $ \mathbb{R}^n$. Then $ U$ is open if and only if $ V$ is open. In particular if $ h:A\longrightarrow B$ is a homeomorphism between subsets of $ \mathbb{R}^n$ then $ h$ maps interior points of $ A$ to interior points of $ B$.
