Choose a finite generating set of . A -geodesic between two elements of maps under the inclusion to a uniform quasigeodesic in because is quasi-isometrically embedded. Since is a hyperbolic group, the Morse lemma for quasi-geodesics gives a constant such that this quasigeodesic and the ambient geodesic with the same endpoints have Hausdorff distance at most . Every vertex of the former lies in , so the latter lies in the closed -neighborhood of . Therefore is a quasiconvex subgroup.

A subgroup is quasiconvex when it is a quasiconvex subset of a Cayley graph. In a hyperbolic group, a finitely generated subgroup is quasiconvex exactly when it is quasi-isometrically embedded.
