Abstract
We prove a quadrilateral comparison result for convex surfaces, involving projections onto quasigeodesics. As an application, we locate the set of all farthest points (i.e., points at maximal intrinsic distance from some point) in a convex surface, with respect to a simple closed quasigeodesic.
