Remark 2.5.1. The famous Lobachevsky’s formula<br />
cot α<br />

follows easily from Theorem 2.5.2, <strong>in</strong> fact, <strong>in</strong> view of (2.37), we have tanh b = cos α, then<br />

Theorem 2.5.3 (<strong>Hyperbolic</strong> Pythagorean Theorem). For any triangle with angles α, β and γ =<br />
π/2, we have<br />
cosh c = cosh a cosh b.<br />
Proof<br />
For any right triangle with angles α, β and π/2, we may assume, by apply<strong>in</strong>g a suitable isometry,<br />
that za = x + iy with x 2 + y 2 = 1, zb = it for t > 0 and zc = i. Us<strong>in</strong>g Theorem 2.3.2 we have<br />
<br />
cosh c = cosh η(it, x + iy) = 1 +<br />
cosh b = cosh η(i, x + iy) = 1 +<br />
cosh a = cosh η(i, it) =<br />
