Prove the size of a hyperbolic angle is twice the area of its hyperbolic sector.












1














I'm trying to figure out how the hyperbolic functions are derived using a unit hyperbola.



According to this walkthrough, argument u in (cosh(u), sinh(u)) should be equal to 2A, where A is the area of an intercepted hyperbolic sector from (0,0) to (cosh(u), sinh(u)).



Confused as to why this is defined as such, I found on Wikipedia:




The size of a hyperbolic angle is twice the area of its hyperbolic sector. The hyperbolic functions may be defined in terms of the legs of a right triangle covering this sector.




However, I couldn't find a explanation for this anywhere. Can anyone help show me why this is?
