Hyperbolic triangle ( length of the base)

Description

A hyperbolic sector is a region of the Cartesian plane {(x,y)} bounded by rays from the origin to two points (a, 1/a) and (b, 1/b) and by the hyperbola xy =1.
When in standard position, a hyperbolic sector determines a hyperbolic triangle, the right triangle with one vertex at the origin, base on the diagonal ray y = x, and third vertex on the hyperbola then xy =1. The length of the base of the hyperbolic triangle is propotional to the cosh(u).
