A natural analogue to angles and trigonometry is developed in taxicab geometry. This structure is then analyzed to see which, if any, congruent triangle relations hold. A nice application involving the use of parallax to determine the exact…
In this paper we present geometry of some curves in Taxicab metric. All curves of second order and trifocal ellipse in this metric are presented. Area and perimeter of some curves are also defined.
Inscribed angles are investigated in taxicab geometry with application to the existence and uniqueness of inscribed and circumscribed taxicab circles of triangles.
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…

The existence of excircles and an Apollonius circle for a triangle in taxicab geometry are connected to the concept of inscribed triangles.
An isometry is a geometric transformation that preserves distances between pairs of points. We present methods to classify isometries in the Euclidean plane, and extend these methods to spherical, single elliptical, and hyperbolic geometry.…
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…
The real projective plane has three well know isomorphic constructions: the extended euclidean plane, unit (hemi)sphere, and three dimensional vector space over the reals. In this paper we find the isomorphisms that map between these three…
We study side-lengths of triangles in path metric spaces. We prove that unless such a space X is bounded, or quasi-isometric to line or half-line, every triple of real numbers satisfying the strict triangle inequalities, is realized by the…
Our main result states that whenever we have a non-Euclidean norm $\|\cdot\|$ on a two-dimensional vector space $X$, there exists some $x\neq 0$ such that for every $\lambda\neq 1, \lambda>0$, there exist $y, z\in X$ verifying that…
A construction to arbitrarily section a taxicab angle into an equal number of angles in (pure) taxicab geometry is presented.
Motivated by a question of R.\ Nandakumar, we show that the Euclidean plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex quadrangles of the same area and the same perimeter. As a byproduct we obtain vertex-to-vertex dissections of the…
The classical isoperimetric inequality can be extended to a general normed plane. In the Euclidean plane, the defect in the isoperimetric inequality can be calculated in terms of the signed areas of some singular sets. In this paper we…
It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…
We prove a relative isoperimetric inequality in the plane, when the perimeter is defined with respect to a convex, positively homogeneous function of degree one, and characterize the minimizers.
This paper deals with the celebrated Euclidean theorem about isosceles triangles, comparing different proofs.
Let Z be a zero-dimensional subscheme of the projective plane consisting of the union of r>5 double points, I its defining ideal sheaf. It is known that I has the expected cohomology when the points are distinct and in general position…
We study the eleven points in the plane of a given triangle, whose pedal triangles are similar to the given one. We prove that the six points whose pedal triangles are positively oriented, lie on a single circle, while the five points,…
We give three new proofs of the triangle inequality in Euclidean Geometry. There seems to be only one known proof at the moment. It is due to properties of triangles, but our proofs are due to circles or ellipses. We aim to prove the…
