Circle or Square which is it?
In Taxicab this is a circle with a radius of two. It is also a square with side length equal to square root of 8.
We see that this is a square with side lengths equal to 2. But is it also a circle? Point E is the center but not all points on the square are equidistant from the center. This is not a circle in Taxicab geometry. So we conclude that all circles are squares but not all squares are circles.
