Let (X, Y ) be independent and uniformly distributed random variables (RVs) on the interval
[0, 1]. Equivalently, let (X, Y ) be a point chosen uniformly at random in the unit box [0, 1] × [0, 1] on the
(x, y) plane. Define the RV Z ≜ √X^2−Y^2 as the random distance of the point (X, Y ) from the origin (0, 0). Find the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the RV Z.
