Taxicab geometry is a form of geometry, where the distance between two points A and B is not the length of the line segment AB as in the Euclidean geometry, but the sum of the absolute differences of their coordinates.

This formula is simply a use of Pythagoras' Theorem. In the figure above, click 'reset' and the Show Triangle checkbox.
