If sinhx =3/4, why is cosh x not = 4/5 by using triplet triangle

I appreciate that it is incorrect but can anyone tell me why it does not work with the triangle.

What triangle?

cosh(x)2sinh(x)2=1\cosh(x)^2 - \sinh(x)^2=1.

Hyperbolic functions do not have the same properties of trigonometric functions

yep i did it that way after!

Also inv sinh gives values of x to be 0.693 iirc and then it yields 5/4 as the answer.

Thanks though
