A continuous distribution is described as follows: The distribution effectively forms a line segment. The slope of the line segment is: 0.201592. The left-most point of the line segment is on the x-axis. Assume the line segment is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. What is the area of the right triangle and the length of the side (legs) of the triangle?
