Area Of A Triangle In Terms Of The m-Generalized Taxicab Distance

Abstract

In this paper, we give three area formulas for a triangle in the $m$-generalized taxicab plane in terms of the $m$-generalized taxicab distance. The two of them are $m$-generalized taxicab versions of the standard area formula for a triangle, and the other one is an $m$-generalized taxicab version of the well-known Heron's formula.

Keywords

• taxicab distance,m-generalized taxicab distance,area,Heron's formula
