Do you want to find the outer frame length for either dimension? How does the blue border relate this this?

p perimeter,
x picture length, same for both directions because square picture
p=4x
-

x=p%2F4

Using u as the uniform width for the blue border around picture,
x%2B2u=highlight%28p%2F4%2B2u%29.

Substitute the values given if you want the value.
