A geometric property of quadrilaterals

Abstract

Quadrilaterals in the complex plane play a significant part in the theory of planar quasiconformal mappings. Motivated by the geometric definition of quasiconformality, we prove that every quadrilateral with modulus in an interval \([1/K, K]\), where \(K>1\), contains a disk lying in its interior, of radius depending only on the internal distances between the pairs of opposite sides of the quadrilateral and on \(K\).
