With the board with the 3 ft edge towards you mark 1 ft from the right hand edge. 4 ft along the right hand edge mark in 1 ft. Join the 1 ft marks.

Turn the board around so that the other 3 ft ends is towards you and repeat the markings.

Now join the ends of the lines at the centre of the board (with should be 1 ft long).

Now cut along the lines.

Shift the right hand piece up and left so that the cut edge is on top of the 8 ft length to create a board almost* 12 ft by 2 ft:

How can you cut an 8 foot by 3 foot board into two pieces so that both pieces together cover a 12 foot by 2 foot hole?

There is no way to do this with two pieces. You can do it with 4 (making each 3 by 2) The only way is by having three pieces.... note: The total area is the same so it has to be possible (24sf) 2 cuts total (3 pieces): STEPS>>> 1st: Cut the board into two pieces. Making one piece 8'x2 the other piece then is 8'x1'. 2nd: Cut the 8'x1' piece into half making two 4'x1' pieces. 3rd: Place the two 4'x1' pieces together to make it 4'x2'. 4th: Place the 8'x2' & new 4'x2' pieces together for your desired dimension, 12'x2'
