Testing — size of a test based on a sum of uniforms

Let X1X_1 and X2X_2 be a random sample from Uniform[0,θ][0,\theta] distribution, where θ>0\theta>0. For testing the hypothesis H0:θ=1H_0:\theta=1 against H1:θ=2H_1:\theta=2, consider a test which rejects H0H_0 if X1+X2>45X_1+X_2>\tfrac45. Then, the probability of type-I error is
