Remember that Gimp is a raster editor and works internally with pixels and not
real-world units.

However, you are using inches. In the crop tool options

Ignore the fixed option, that works with pixels.

Make a crop area on the canvas, anywhere, any size.

1. Position; set the values to 0 , 0 Click in the little box and you can edit
these values.

2. Size: Set the units to inches in the drop down box

3. Size: Set the Size to 8 and 10.

The crop adjusts as screenshot 1.

4. With the crop tool still active, click in the canvas and move the crop area
as required.
