We consider how the arc length integral of the graph of a function in the plane is connected with the hyperbola and its rational parameterization.

Imre Patyi is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Georgia State University, who taught arc length integrals to calculus students many times over. He has a PhD in Mathematics from Purdue University, does research on several complex variables, and is curious about what goes on in the world of mathematics education.
