Euclidean Geometry
In the foundations of the hyperbolic functions sinh, cosh and tanh, a hyperbolic triangle is a right triangle in the first quadrant of the Cartesian plane
with one vertex at the origin, base on the diagonal ray y = x, and third vertex on the hyperbola
The length of the base of such a triangle is
and the altitude is
where u is the appropriate hyperbolic angle.

Famous quotes containing the word geometry:
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
