William Tell is a very bad shot. In practice, he places a small green apple on top of a straight wall which stretches to infinity in both directions. He then takes up position at a distance of one perch from the apple, so that his line of sight to the target is perpendicular to the wall. He now selects an angle uniformly at random from his entire field of view and shoots his arrow in this direction. Assuming that his arrow hits the wall somewhere, what is the distribution function of the horizontal distance (measured in perches) between the apple and the point which the arrow strikes?
