In English in order to describe a Lego brick which has dimensions or 2 pegs by
4 pegs, we could say "2 x 4" and pronounce this "2 by 4". How is this
expressed in Japanese?

I have seen "2 x 4" written on a Japanese lego site, but would this be
pronounced "二 カケル ヨン"?

I assume this is similar to how one would describe a matrix in Japanese (like
in English), but if anyone knows any specific lego terms let me know.

Also, to describe a brick with those dimensions would "2 x 4" be sufficient,
or is it better to say "2 x 4 (の)ブリック"?

Describing lego brick dimensions in Japanese
I believe dimensions are read as:

> A対{たい}B

Same as in mathematics when you have a ratio such as:

> A:B

Also, bricks are commonly called blocks in Japanese.

> レゴブロック

answer
I'd say

> ニ カケル ヨン の レゴブロック

though I never had a chance to describe the dimension of a LEGO brick in
Japanese. I didn't order them some 27 yrs ago, my parents did :-)

Most Japanese don't understand what is a "brick." LEGO bricks are known as
レゴブロック [LEGO _block_ ], or simply レゴ, in Japan.
