2x4 par ( prepared all around )or pse prepared squared edge is smaller but there is a 2x4 sawn that is that size ! But now days its not rough sawn smaller because it’s all c16 or c 24 and that’s 47mmx 95mm

Even if those dimensions were right, the correct answer would be 2x4xX, where X is whatever length they cut the timber to.

ukko1998 :
2x4 is in my opinion pretty much exactly 50x100mm and because 2” is more than 50mm, the 50x100 is actually more accurate, than using imperial units

The definitive answer is 94x47mm, but this can vary slightly depending on the moisture content of the timber

Baa Baa Black Belt :
the correct answer is "Rough Cut or Planed?" Rough cut 2x4 is still 2" by 4", and you can still buy it that way. when they plane it down, the sander takes off about 1/2" per side.
