Hermann Minkowski ( ) Karl Menger Taxicab Geometry: An Adventure in Non- Euclidean Geometry
Since the distance between two points is now measured by horizontal and vertical lines, it has some implications of other basic elements of geometry. In Euclidean, there was one shortest distance between two points. In taxicab geometry, there are many…
The Euclidean definition of a circle is a set of points with a fixed distance from a point. Taxicab circles hold the same property, but look a little different. Also, pi is no longer equal to 3.14, but 4.

Review Failed Axiom
In Euclidean: The distance between A and D Measured by taking a perpendicular line to the BC through point D
In Taxicab Geometry, it’s measured with vertical lines
In Euclidean Geometry, the midset is the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the two points
Case 1 Case 2 0<|m|<1
Case 3 |m|>1 Case 4 |m|=1

Why is it significant? How does it relate to our class? ?
