Two times two is four. If you mean lumber, it is a piece of wood that is about 1-3/4" by 1-3/4".
The 2x4's I use measure 1 and a half by 3 and a half.
Usually it means a piece of wood/lumber that has a cross-sectional area of 4 square inches, meaning that the cross section is a square of 2 inch side.
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.
The standard size for lumber used in construction projects is typically 2 inches thick by 4 inches wide, with varying lengths depending on the specific needs of the project.

It is Steel( it was in my homework)
A piece of wood 1" thick by 12" wide by 1' long, or the equivalent volume. The width and thickness are often planed down some. So, let's say you have a 6" wide board 2' long and 1" thick. That is 1 board foot. Or, let' s say you have a 6" wide hunk of lumber 2" thick and 1' long. That is 1 board foot. Or, to get out of the box, here, say you have a 4" by 4" hunk of lumber that is 0.75 feet long (9") long. That is 1 board foot. In other words, if you multiply the width in inches by the thickness in inches by the length in feet, you have the number of board feet.
