A picture frame is drawn on a grid. The outside edge of the frame is a rectangle with corners (0,0)(0, 0), (10,0)(10, 0), (10,8)(10, 8) and (0,8)(0, 8). The hole for the picture is a rectangle with corners (2,2)(2, 2), (8,2)(8, 2), (8,6)(8, 6) and (2,6)(2, 6). What is the area of the frame itself (not counting the hole), in square units?
