Which is true about taxicab geometry?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Taxicab geometry is measured in the coordinate plane and therefore is a branch of Euclidean geometry.
       Between points A and B, there may be more than one path that shows the taxidistance.
       The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
       To travel a path in taxicab geometry, you can move vertically, horizontally, or diagonally on a coordinate grid.

imagine we have this grid

|dw:1401164471340:dw|

and these 2 points on the grid

|dw:1401164497312:dw|
