    The dimensions of the rectangular portion of the window should be 4 by 4.

    To maximize area, we make the dimensions as close to congruent as possible. Since there will be 3 sides on the rectangular portion with a frame around them, we divide 12 by 3:

    12/3 = 4

    This means it should be 4 by 4.
