Hence this series of rectanglcd parallelograms will <xas the series of rectangled parallelograms inscribed in anhyperbolic area between the curve and the asymptote, whenthe… … Fig. 39. In order to approximate the series of rectangled parallelo-grams nearer to that of the hyperbolic area, it will be neces-sary to add a series of 5 triangles between the ordinates. Nowthe sum of the bases of these triangles will =6 — 1 = 5, andthe height of each triangle =6. .. area of the…
