Procedure for Multiplying Radical Dimensions

A junior floor technician in a precision machining shop asks you to explain how to calculate the product of two dimensions given as (43)(4\sqrt{3}) units and (212)(2\sqrt{12}) units. Describe the standard procedural steps required to multiply these radical expressions. Specifically, explain what should be done with the coefficients and the radicands, and show the process of simplifying the intermediate result to find the final whole-number value.
