Applications of Taxicab Geometry
Taxicab Geometry can be used in real-life applications where Euclidean distance is not applicable. For example, finding the Euclidean distance from one location in a town to another that is on a different street will not produce an accurate depiction of the distance a car would drive between those two locations. Though not all streets run parallel or perpendicular to each other, the Taxicab Geometry depiction of this type of grid system shows vast improvements to its Euclidean counterpart.
