Consider the following attempt at generating a point uniformly distributed in the circle of radius 1 centered

Question:

Consider the following attempt at generating a point uniformly distributed in the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin. In polar coordinates, pick R uniformly at random on (0,1). Pick Θ uniformly at random on (0, 2π), independently of R. Show that this method does not work. That is show (R, Θ) is not uniformly distributed on the circle.
