Section 3.2 Taxicab Circles

What are circles? The set of points at constant distance from the center. But we have changed the notion of distance! Two taxicab circles are shown in Figure 3.2.1.

You can change the radius of the inner circle using the slider, and that of the outer circle by moving point \(P\text{.}\)
