4*3*4 = 12*4 = 48
32*32 = 1024
1024 + 48 = 1072
That is a HUGE box. Are you sure it is 32 feet long and wide and not 32 inches ?
If it were inches, you would divide that answer by 12*12 = 144 to get square feet
1072/144 = 7.44 square feet. In any case either the sides or the bottom measurements are wrong. You have a typo or several of them.
