"lsblk" displays different size of partition than "fdisk -l"

Hi everyone, I am trying to install an Arch Linux on a Virtual Machine ( Virtualbox ) and at the partitioning I was surprised that "lsblk" command displays a different size of partition. I partition approx. 30 Gb of disk space into 26.2 G primary and 4.1 G extended but the extended is shown as "1K" by lsblk command.

Here is the screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/99lbyY6

sda1 is 26.2G.
What is your doubt?

I believe the question is about the discrepancy re. sda2.

I see.

Well... Extended Partition is merely a "container", not an actual partition; thus its size is not a real thing.
