In this paper, we explicitly show the various isometries of the plane under the taxicab metric. We then use these isometries to prove that Euclid's proposition I.5 for isoscelese triangles is true under certain circumstances in taxicab…
While the concept of straight-line length is well understood in taxicab geometry, little research has been done into the length of curves or the nature of area and volume in this geometry. This paper sets forth a comprehensive view of the…
In this paper the problem of finding a normal form of triangles and plane quadrilaterals up to similarity is considered. Several normal forms for triangles and a normal form for quadrilaterals of special case are described. Normal forms of…

We explore taxicab conic sections from the perspective of slicing taxicab cones by planes, as opposed to the more well-studied approach from the perspective of distance formulations. After establishing a significant amount of structural…

In this work the Erdos-Mordell's inequality is examined for the case of a triangle $ABC$ in the taxicab plane geometry. It is shown that the Erdos-Mordell's inequality $R_A + R_B + R_C \, \geq \, w \, (r_a + r_b + r_c)$ holds for triangles…
A distance mean function measures the average distance of points from the elements of a given set of points (focal set) in the space. The level sets of a distance mean function are called generalized conics. In case of infinite focal points…

The geometry of parallelizable manifolds (i.e., teleparallelism) is summarized in the language of local frame fields. Some problems in continuum mechanics that relate to the couple-stresses that are produced in the bending and twisting of…
The conditions determining that two triangles are congruent play a basic role in planimetry. By comparing not congruent triangles with respect to given sets of corresponding elements it is important to discover if they have any common…
It is known that the flip distance between two triangulations of a convex polygon is related to the minimum number of tetrahedra in the triangulation of some polyhedron. It is interesting to know whether these two numbers are the same. In…
Distance Geometry is based on the inverse problem that asks to find the positions of points, in a Euclidean space of given dimension, that are compatible with a given set of distances. We briefly introduce the field, and discuss some open…
We show that the visual angle metric and the triangular ratio metric are comparable in convex domains. We also find the extremal points for the visual angle metric in the half space and in the ball by use of a construction based on…
It is well known that the area $U$ of the triangle formed by three tangents to a parabola $X$ is half of the area $T$ of the triangle formed by joining their points of contact. In this article, we study some properties of $U$ and $T$ for…
We study some properties of a triad of circles associated with a triangle. Each circle is inside the triangle, tangent to two sides of the triangle, and externally tangent to the circle on the third side as diameter. In particular, we find…
In this paper, constructions of regular pentagon and decagon, and the calculation of the main trigonometric ratios of the corresponding central angles are approached. In this way, for didactic purposes, it is intended to show the reader…
