You have seen a Euclidian circle. A circle is the set of all points that have the same distance from a fixed given point known as the center point.
This is a circle with a radius 3, meaning all the points on the circle have a distance of 3 from the center C.
[color=#ff0000][b]How does a TaxiCab circle look like?[/b][/color][br][br]I want you to plot all the points that are 3 units away from the center given. This would be a TaxiCab circle with a radius of 3.[br][br]After you have plot all the points, connect the points.
When you connected the points what kind of shape does it make?
In Euclidian Geometry we define [math]\pi[/math] as the ratio of its circumference compare to its diameter.[br][math]\pi=\frac{C}{d}[/math][br][br][br]What is the TaxiCab equivalent of Pi?[br][br]Find out what the Circumference of your TaxiCab circle is and divide it by the diameter of the circle to find this ratio.
What was the ratio you found?
