A 2X6 is 5 1/2 inches wide. Incidentally it's 1 1/2 inches thick. Pre-WWII lumber was cut at stated dimensions, a 2x4 was actually 2 inches by 4 inches.
It is equal to to 72 because 2x6=12 and 3x2=6 and 12x6=72 or if you think this is to complicated, you can do 2x6=12, 12x3=36, and then 36x2, which then also gives you 72
It can be a bit of wood with the dimension 2x6 inches or centimetres or even millimetres. It can be a toilet or bathroom 12 Sqm. Normally you would use a tape measure in order to measure dimensions. Regards.
The word "lumber" is a verb and a noun."He is going to lumber the trees in the back garden".
If I do your homework for you, you will fail your test.
A 2X6 (dry Douglas fir) weighs 2lbs per foot. Thus a 20ft 2X6 would weigh 40 lbs. Other types of lumber such as pine weighs more and all lumber is heaver when wet or if it has been treated.
2x4, 2x6 and 2x10
Lumber yards and home improvement stores in the U.S. generally stock stud length 2x6's (92-5/8").

A saw mill rough cuts a log into standard sizes of lumber such as 2x4, 2x6, 2x8,etc. The rough cut lumber is cut to the actual measurements of 2" x 4", 2" x 6", 2" x 8", etc. The lumber at this point is very rough so it is run through a planner that smoothes the lumber by removing a small amount of wood on each of its four sides. The actual dimensions of the lumber after being smoothed is 1/2" smaller in both width and thickness so a 2x4 will actually measure 1 1/2" x 3 1/2", a 2x6 is 1 1/2" x 5 1/2", a 2x8 is 1 1/2" x 7 1/2", etc. A 2x6 bought by a consumer at a lumber yard is actually only 1 1/2" or 1.5" thick and 5 1/2" or 5.5" wide. A 1 foot (12") length of 2x6 is (5.5" x 12") 66 square inches. 64 square feet is equivalent to (64 x 12" x 12") 9,216 square inches. So it takes (9,216/66) 139.64 feet of 2 x 6 to cover 64 square feet. Ten 2x6's 14 feet long will cover almost exactly 64 square feet.

It depends on where you live. If you are in a colder climate the up front cost of the 2x6 lumber will pay off over time. The extra insulation will be worth it.
A nominal 2x6 baord is actually 5.5" wide. 5.5"/12"=0.45833ft => 0.45833ft x 300ft = 137.5 sq-ft
A standard bunk of lumber typically contains around 100 2x4s. This number can vary depending on the specific dimensions of the lumber and how tightly it is packed. Bunks are typically stacked in a specific pattern to maximize the number of boards that can be transported efficiently.
Lumber is big business in Canada. The lumber makes houses, furniture, and paper products.
A 2x6 piece of lumber can typically support around 50 pounds per linear foot when used as a horizontal shelf. The actual weight it can hold will depend on various factors such as the type of wood, the length of the span, and the load distribution. It is always best to consult with an engineer or construction professional for specific load-bearing calculations.
In a lumber mill, tree trunks are debarked and sawn into planks.it is a big machine that cuts up wood :)
