Over a century and a half ago, wood was milled a true 2" x 4" ....thus 2x4 .....the same with 2x6, 2x8 ....and so on. However it was "rough sawn" lumber. Wood size standards came about in the 1920 's or so. still made chnges in the mid 60's
But the need for more finished lumber drove sawmills to go through another step in the milling process.. saw mills were crude and milled in crude dimentions. if the mill surfaced one side it was S1S......Surfaced ! Side.... S2S ..and so one.
Economics was the real player in all this ...The new surfaced sizes became the standard...
Diameter X 3.14159265 divided by 4 X diameter X diameter. 2 * 3.14159265 / 4 * 2 * 2 = 6.2831853 square inches
Approximately 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches.
2 x 4 x 6 = 48 2 x 4 x 2 = 16 2 x 6 x 2 = 24 48 + 24 + 16 = 88 square inches
It is: 2 feet times 2 feet = 4 square feet
The VOLUME is 4 x 2 x 6 = 48 inches cubed
48 cubic inches
2 inches x 2 inches = 4 square inches
It is: 2*4*12 = 96 inches
There are 25.4 millimetres in one inch. There are 12 inches in one foot. Therefore, 4 feet 2 inches is equal to (4 x 12 x 25.4) + (2 x 25.4) = 1270 millimetres.
12 x 4 = 48, + 2 : 50 inches
There are 36 inches in one yard. Therefore, 2 yards 4 inches is equal to (2 x 36) + 4 = 76 inches.
There are 12 inches in one foot. Therefore, 2 feet 4 inches is equal to (2 x 12) + 4 = 28 inches.
No, 2 feet and 4 inches is equal to 28 inches (2 feet x 12 inches/foot + 4 inches). 6 inches is less than 2 feet and 4 inches.
The sum of all the areas of the surfaces of a solid figure. for example, a cube with dimensions 2 inches x 2 inches x 2 inches has a surface area of 24 square inches (4 square inches + 4 square inches + 4 square inches + 4 square inches + 4 square inches + 4 square inches...6 sides with an area of 4 square inches)
4 feet 9.5 inches x 2 feet 2 inches.
A 2 x 4 'stud' is technically 92-1/2 inches. All other 2 x 4 lengths are 'boards' of 96, 120 and 144 inches.
There are 168 inches in 4 yards 2 feet.12 inches/foot3 feet/ yard36 inches/ yard4x36=144 inches2x12=24 inches144+24= 168 inches
