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

The middle portion of your answer is a very difficult argument to follow. I've managed to figure out the "e" definition by means of integration, but I still don't understand from your answer what necessarily implies u = 2A. I'm guessing this is somehow in the geometry of your included picture, but I would really prefer a more algebraic answer because I'm more easily convinced that way. Could you elaborate on all of this more specifically? I appreciate your work by the way, in fact your answer was one of the first I read when I started trying to figure this out and it helped get me started.
