Abstract
Taxicab distance function is a practical distance notion which gives us information of real world pathway distance that really taxi can go through. As one of the non-Euclidean geometry, this study of an ideal city with all roads running horizontal or vertical, was introduced by the Russian Mathematician H. Minkowski and synthetically reported by the E. F. Kraus in 1986. After that, there were many reports and papers on this topic and still being researched. At this point of view, our research about taxicab geometry provides its differences from Euclidean plane geometry, and considers about several theorems on plane geometry using the taxicab distance function.
