Melinda wants to put a square picture that has a perimeter 12 inches inside a frame. She wants to leave a 2-inch space between the borders of her picture and the inside borders of the frame. What should the perimeter of the frame be?

You have 2 sides that are 2 cms and you have 6 sides that are 1/2 cm and you have 4 sides that are 1 cm. the smallest sides are 1/2 the medium sized sides are 1 and the smallest are 1/2. so to find the perimeter you have to add them all up together so your answer will be 11 cm's
