You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Draw a picture of this. Let the p be the perimeter. That is the length of the molding needed. The two-inch mat around the \"picture\" does not matter in this exercise. Or, maybe it does matter. You would maybe need to cut off a right triangle on both sides of each of the four pieces. Yes. That's it.\r
