yes, the simplistic answer is 44 inches, since 2(12) + 2(10) = 44
The real solution would require you to consider the loss of wood to
form the angles of 45° at each end, the width of the frame, and
how the picture is located within the frame.

The picture frame consists of four sides, and each side will be made from a wood strip. Since the picture is a rectangle, the opposite sides will have the same length.
Given that the picture is a 12" by 10" rectangle, we can see that the two sides measuring 12" are the width and the two sides measuring 10" are the height of the rectangle.
To calculate the perimeter, we add up the lengths of all four sides:
Perimeter = 2 * (Width + Height)
Plugging in the values we have:
Perimeter = 2 * (12 + 10)
Perimeter = 2 * 22
Perimeter = 44"
Therefore, Sara will need wood strips totaling 44" in length for her picture frame project.
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Plugging in the values, we have:
Perimeter = 2 * (12" + 10")
Perimeter = 2 * (22")
Perimeter = 44"
Therefore, Sara will need a total length of 44" wood strips for her project.
