In curvature minus one, a hyperbolic disc of radius R has area
A(R)=4πsinh2(R/2)=2π(coshR−1).
(1)
In the Poincare disc this follows by integrating 4r(1−r2)−2drdθ up to Euclidean radius tanh(R/2).

Area of a hyperbolic disc
Hyperbolic discs of area π/2 have radius log2. Starting at the origin and placing their centers successively along one radial geodesic gives center distance nlog4 and Euclidean coordinate
rn​=4n+14n−1​.
