Convert feet to inches to cm.
4.5%2A%2812%2F1%29%2A%282.54%2F1%29ft%28in%2Fft%29%28cm%2Fin%29=137.16cm
7.2%2A%2812%2F1%29%2A%282.54%2F1%29ft%28in%2Fft%29%28cm%2Fin%29=219.456cm
5%2A%282.54%2F1%29in%28cm%2Fin%29=12.7cm
So then the volume is,
V=%28137.16%2A219.456%2A12.7%29cc
Divide by 1000 to get it into liters,
V=%28%28%28137.16%2A219.456%2A12.7%29%29%2F1000%29l

Use the volume in milliliters and divide by 25 to calculate the number of syringes that would hold that volume,
N=%28137.16%2A219.456%2A12.7%29%2F25
