Let be one side of the geodesic quadrilateral, and draw a diagonal from to the opposite vertex. A point lies, by -thinness of the first geodesic triangle, within either of an adjacent side or of the diagonal. In the latter case, -thinness of the second triangle places the nearby point of the diagonal within another of one of the other two sides. The triangle inequality then places within of the remaining three sides. The argument applies to every side, proving the geodesic quadrilateral in a hyperbolic metric space bound.
