Variance of a variable from a wedge-shaped joint density

Let X‾=(X1,X2)\underline X=(X_1,X_2) have joint probability density function

f(x1,x2)={e−x22/2x22π,0<∣x1∣≤x2<∞, 0,otherwise.f(x_1,x_2)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{e^{-x_2^2/2}}{x_2\sqrt{2\pi}}, & 0<|x_1|\le x_2<\infty,\ 0, & \text{otherwise.}\end{cases}

Then the variance of random variable X1X_1 is
