Abstract
Metric spaces are among the most important widely studied topics
in mathematics. In recent years, Mathematicians began to investigate using other metrics
different from Euclidean metric. These metrics also find their place computer age in addition to their
importance in geometry. In this paper, we consider the plane geometry with the generalized absolute
value metric and define trigonometric functions and norm and then give a plane tiling example for engineers
underlying Schwarz's inequality in this plane.
