Proof area of {$(x,y) R^2 | 0 le y < e^x$ and $0le x< h$} is $e^h-1$
I'm supposed to prove that the area of {$(x,y) R^2 | 0 le y < e^x$ and $0le x< h$} is $e^h-1$
I was going to try to make it a function and calculate it using a Riemanns sum.
That led me to
$F(x) = e^2 = y$
Assuming n rectangles with the width $h/n$ and height $e^frac{hi}{n}$
That got me to the sum and now I'm stuck at
$$frac hn sum_{i=0}^n e^frac{hi}{n} $$
How should I proceed?
The proof is supposed to use simple sets, e.i. not supposed to use an integral.

It is a geomtrical serie, the sum is equal to $$h/nsumlimits_{i = 0}^{n - 1} {{e^{ih/n}}} = left( {h/n} right)frac{{1 - {e^{(h + frac{h}{n})}}}}{{1 - {e^{h/n}}}}$$

$sum_{i=0}^n e^frac{hi}{n}$ is a geometric series with ratio $e^{frac hn}$ so
$sum_{i=0}^n e^frac{hi}{n} = frac{e^{frac{h(n+1)}{n}}-1}{e^{frac hn}-1}$
As $n rightarrow infty$, we have $e^{frac{h(n+1)}{n}}-1 rightarrow e^h-1$ and $e^{frac hn}-1 rightarrow frac hn$ so
$frac hn sum_{i=0}^n e^frac{hi}{n} rightarrow e^h-1$
