Which is true about taxicab geometry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

hint: think of the xy coordinate grid as the layout of the streets of a big city

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, I believe.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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