Is a 50l duffel bag a carry-on?

Carry-on bags are limited to 22 inches long, 14 inches wide and 9 inches high including wheels and handles. All three measurements shouldn't add up to more than 45 inches. That works out to not quite 45.5 liters. So yes, a 50L pack is too big in at least one of those.
