I'm reading Modern Mathematical Statistics with Applications and I don't know how to get the covariance of $\rho$ from $X$ and $Y$ in Example 6.16:

Where do I start?

Use linearity of covariance. \begin{align} \operatorname{Cov}(X,Y) &= \operatorname{Cov}(Z_1, \rho Z_1 + \sqrt{1-\rho^2} Z_2) \\ &= \rho \operatorname{Cov}(Z_1, Z_1) + \sqrt{1-\rho^2} \operatorname{Cov}(Z_1, Z_2). \end{align} Can you finish from here?
