Any two word metrics from finite generating sets on the same group are bilipschitz equivalent. Indeed, if are finite, let ; then , and the reverse inequality follows symmetrically. Apply this once to the two finite generating sets of and once to those of . Composing these bilipschitz identity maps with the inclusion changes only the multiplicative and additive constants in the quasi-isometric embedding inequalities. Thus being a quasi-isometrically embedded subgroup is independent of and .

Let and letbe a geodesic in the Cayley graph . By -quasiconvexity choose with , taking and . ThenThe elements telescope to , so the finite setgenerates .
Moreover , while . Thus the inclusion is a quasi-isometric embedding, and is quasi-isometrically embedded.

A finitely generated subgroup is quasi-isometrically embedded when its inclusion, equipped with word metrics from finite generating sets, is a quasi-isometric embedding. This property is independent of those generating sets.
