Answer 1

The answer is (10) 8' and (3) 12 A

Explanation:

To build a wall that is 12' long and 8' high, you will need (10) 8' 2x4's and (3) 12' 2x4's. This will give you the necessary length for the bottom and top plates and 10 studs. Each stud should be spaced about 16" on center, so 10 studs will be enough to support the wall.
