Moreover, it is easy to show that the Cayley graph of a generated group with word metric is quasi-isometric to a geodesic  space.[1]   A triangle with vertices \(x\), \(y\), \(z\) in this space is the union of three geodesic segments, between \(x\) and \(y\), between \(y\) and \(z\), and between \(z\) and \(x\). This is the gateway for the application of Gromov’s insights, some of which can be grasped with the help of visual geometric thinking.
