Answer:

The dimensions of the frame are 8 inches by 10 inches.

Explanation:

Let's use "w" to represent the width of the frame. Then the length would be "w+2".

The perimeter of the frame is 36, so we can write an equation:

2(w + w+2) = 36

Simplifying the equation, we get:

4w + 4 = 36

4w = 32

w = 8

So the width of the frame is 8 inches, and the length would be 10 inches (8 + 2).

Therefore, the dimensions of the frame are 8 inches by 10 inches.
