In the previous worksheet you found out that the shortest distance from point A to point B in TaxiCab geometry was 8 units.[br][br][br]Now imagine you could take a helicopter from point A to point B.
What is the shortest distance from point A to point B on a helicopter?
[size=150][color=#0000ff]This distance since we are able to connect the points with a straight line on a diagonal is[br][br]called [/color][b]Euclidian geometry[/b][color=#0000ff]. Euclidian geometry is the geometry you are most familiar [br][br]with. [/color][/size][br][br][b][br][br]Taxicab[/b][size=150][b] geometry[/b][color=#0000ff] is called Non-Euclidian geometry...[/color].It is one of many.[color=#0000ff]..but we are only [br][br]going to focus on Taxicab geometry compared to Euclidian geometry in these worksheets.
