T-Equidistances

This distance is ([b]this formula is provided to students[/b] and can be directly introduced in the algebraic view): [br][br] [color=#CC3300]Xr(x,y) = |a x + b y + c| / Max(|a|, |b|)[/color][br]  [br]From the point-line equidistance the T-parabola arises, while from the point-circle equidistance the T-ellipse and the T-hyperbola emerge.[br][br]If we consider equidistance to the sides of a polygon, its skeleton and median axis arise. We can traverse it with a bitangent disk to verify this.[br][br]Finally, we can also find the T-equidistant path between two curves, either through offset (as shown here) or by generating a heat map.[br][list][*]Note: For a better view of the construction, it is recommended to download the ggb file [url=https://www.geogebra.org/material/download/format/file/id/qpzdxu88]here[/url].[/*][/list]
