The aim of this work is to investigate some properties of the truncated octahedron metric introduced in the space in further studies on metric geometry. With this metric, the 3-dimensional analytical space is a Minkowski geometry which is a non-Euclidean geometry in a finite number of dimensions. In a Minkowski geometry, the unit ball is a certain symmetric closed convex set instead of the usual sphere in Euclidean space. The unit ball of the truncated octahedron geometry is a truncated octahedron which is an Archimedean solid. In this study, first, metric properties of truncated octahedron distance, d_TO, in R^2 has been examined by metric approach. Then, by using synthetic approach some distance formulae in R_TO^3, 3-dimensional analytical space furnished with the truncated octahedron metric has been found.
