Fig. 3 represents a paper cutout of the letter "L" for a display board in Mr. Kosty's classroom.  He plans on cutting the letter out using his favorite pair of scissors: Senor Snips.  When Mr. Kosty uses Senor Snips, he is very careful, and only goes 1/2 centimeter with each cut.  How many cuts will it take to completely cutout the letter?
The perimeter of the shape is 30 centimeters, so it will take 60 cuts with Senor Snips to get the entire letter out.
