Isometric Metric Spaces/Examples

Examples of Isometric Metric Spaces

Euclidean Plane is Isometric to Complex Plane

Let $\R^2$ be the real number plane with the Euclidean metric.

Let $\C$ denote the complex plane.

Let $f: \R^2 \to \C$ be the function defined as:

$\forall \tuple {x_1, x_2} \in \R^2: \map f {x_1, x_2} = x_1 + i x_2$

Then $f$ is an isometry from $\R^2$ to $\C$.
