For a piecewise continuously differentiable curve in the upper half-plane model, the given Riemannian metric gives hyperbolic length
The metric matrix has determinant , so its area element is . Thus a measurable region has hyperbolic area . For the specified strip the integral is
The infinite Euclidean height is compatible with finite hyperbolic area because the area density decreases quadratically with height.
