Taxicab geometry is a special kind of geometry that works on city streets. With it you finally have a chance of finding treasure hidden in the city of Arborville. Here's what you do: Pick an intersection and ask the computer how far it is to the treasure. The computer tells you the distance using taxicab geometry.

What the heckeroonie is taxicab geometry? Well, it's not geometry designed by New York cabbies on coffee break or anything like that, but it does relate to the way a cab driver has to get from point A to point B. We've always heard that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, right?

This means the distance formula that we are accustom to using in Euclidean geometry will not work. Fortunately there is a non Euclidean geometry set up for exactly this type of problem, called taxicab geometry.

In this paper we will explore a slightly modified version of taxicab geometry. Instead of using Euclidean angles measured in radians, we will mirror the usual definition of the radian to obtain a taxicab radian (a t-radian).

Ana just got off the school bus and she's really hungry. She sees a place to get a burger across the park. What route gives Ana the shortest distance to the burgers? Most math teachers call this taxicab geometry, but we're going to call it school-bus geometry because kids seldom ride in taxis. Geometry Online...

ISOPERIMETRIC INEQUALITY IN TAXICAB GEOMETRY; °I; SMAIL KOCAYUSUFO˘GLU; Abstract. The history of the Isoperimetric Inequality goes back to 900 BC. Mainly, the Isoperi-metric; Theorem states that “Among all planar shapes in Euclidean geometry, the circle is the best figure in the plane”.
