Abstract

In this work, we study existence of taxicab incircle and circumcircle of a triangle in the taxicab plane and give the functional relationship between them in terms of slope of sides of the triangle. Finally, we show that the point of intersection of taxicab inside angle bisectors of a triangle
is the center of taxicab incircle of the triangle.
