Taxicab geometry or Manhattan geometry is geometry where the familiar Euclidean distance is ignored, and the distance between two points is instead defined to be the sum of the absolute differences of their respective Cartesian coordinates, a distance function (or metric) called the taxicab distance, Manhattan distance, or city block distance.
Manhattan distance, also known as Taxicab geometry, is a commonly used similarity measure in clustering techniques that work with continuous data.
In mathematics, the nth taxicab number, typically denoted Ta(n) or Taxicab(n), is defined as the smallest integer that can be expressed as a sum of two positive integer cubes in n distinct ways. [1] The most famous taxicab number is 1729 = Ta(2) = 1 3 + 12 3 = 9 3 + 10 3 , also known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number.
"In taxicab geometry, the red, yellow, blue, and green paths all have the same shortest path length of 12". The green line does not have a length of 12 but a length of 6*(2)^1/2, as the third sentence states. The green line is not a valid path in "taxicab geometry". No taxi cab could drive streets and avenues that way.
The octahedron in the three-dimensional integer lattice, whose number of lattice points is counted by the centered octahedral number, is a metric ball for three-dimensional taxicab geometry, a geometry in which distance is measured by the sum of the coordinatewise distances rather than by Euclidean distance.

The Cayley graph of is the so-called taxicab geometry. It can be pictured in the plane as an infinite square grid of city streets, where each horizontal and vertical line with integer coordinates is a street, and each point of Z ⊕ Z {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} \oplus \mathbb {Z} } lies at the intersection of a horizontal and a vertical street.
