It appears as though you have a quarter circle, and that the radius of the quarter cirle is 2 inches.  The circumference of a circle is C = 2Pi*r.

1.  Find the circumference of the entire circle.

2.  Find the arc length by taking 1/4 of this Circumference, C.

3.  Add the two radii (2 inches each) to find the total perimeter of the given figure.

Let me know what you get.
