Arc Length of the Hyperbolic Cosine


	The length of the arc MN of the graph of the hyperbolic cosine can be found with a compass. Draw a circle with center M and radius equal to the coordinate of the point N. Let P be the intersection of the circle with the axis. The distance OP gives the arc length.
