There are two possible answers here.

Either you meant to ask how many cubic feet there are (a cubic foot is a measure of volume; a square foot is a measure of area), in which case the answer is:

  • 2 x 2 x 4 = 16 cubic feet.

Or you want the total square footage of the six sides of the box, which would be:

  • (2 x (2 x 2)) + (4 x (2 x 4)) = (2 x 4) + (4 x 8) = 8 + 32 = 40 square feet.

That's because on a 2' x 2' x 4' box, two of the sides would be 2' x 2', while the other four sides would be 2' x 4'. So if you cut the box open and laid it flat, this would be the amount of area it would cover.

There is no direct conversion between cubic feet and feet since they measure different things (volume vs. length). One cubic foot is equal to the volume of a cube with sides that are each 1 foot in length. So, 4.5 cubic feet does not have a direct equivalent measurement in feet.

Cube root of 4.5 = 1.651, so it would be a cube

measuring 1.651 ft x 1.651 ft x 1.651 ft.

1.651 ft is approximately 1 foot and 7 13/16 inches long.
