Size of composite hypothesis test

Let X1,X2X_1, X_2 be a random sample from a U(0,θ)U(0, \theta) distribution, where θ>0\theta > 0 is an unknown parameter. For testing the null hypothesis H0:θ∈(0,1]∪[2,∞)H_0: \theta\in (0, 1]\cup [2, \infty) against H1:θ∈(1,2)H_1: \theta\in (1, 2), consider the critical region R={(x1,x2)∈R×R:54<max⁡{x1,x2}<74}.R=\left\{(x_1, x_2)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R} : \frac{5}{4} < \max\{x_1, x_2\} < \frac{7}{4}\right\}. Then, the size of the critical region equals __________
