In taxicab geometry, the distance between two points is called the taxi distance.
The formula for it is
(Absolute value of x base 1 - x base 2)+(Absolute value of y base 1 - y base 2)
Lets say you have to find the distance between these two pair of points
(2,3) and (3,5)
(Absolute value of 2-3)+(Absolute value of 3-5)
(1)+(2)
The Taxidistance is 3
hope this helped...
