she/he could use 2 12x3 in of wood and 1 4x2 so now we will take all of the numbers and see what we get when we calculat them so when we take the 2 12x3 we will get 72 and then we will add 72 to 4x2 after we multiply them so when we multiply the 4x2 we will get 8 and now will we add 72 to the 8 and we will get a 80 for your answer hope that is the right answer if it is not sorry
