Mary is making a model sailboat. She wants to add three sails: a rectangular sail that measures 5 inches by 8 inches and two right triangular sails, one that's 3 inches long at the bottom and 4 inches tall and one that's 4 inches long at the bottom and 6 inches tall. (Remember you can find the area of a triangle by dividing the area of a square with the same height and length by 2). How many square inches of canvas does she need total? Let's think step by step and output the final answer after "####".

First find the area of the square sail: 5 inches * 8 inches = <<5*8=40>>40 square inches
Then find the area of a square sail with the same height and length as the first triangular sail: 3 inches * 4 inches = <<3*4=12>>12 square inches
Then divide the area in two to find the area of the triangular sail: 12 square inches / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 square inches
Then find the area of a square sail with the same height and length as the second triangular sail: 4 inches * 6 inches = <<4*6=24>>24 square inches
Then divide the area in two to find the area of the triangular sail: 24 square inches / 2 = <<24/2=12>>12 square inches
Then add up the areas of all the sails to find the total amount of canvas needed: 12 square inches + 6 square inches + 40 square inches = <<12+6+40=58>>58 square inches
#### 58
