Answer: length = 20 feet and width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Volume is equal to volume = height * width * length. The questions tells us the total volume is 200 cubic feet and that the lenght is equal to length = 4w. Set up the equation 4w * w * 2 = 200 cubic feet. Multiply to get 8w^2 = 200 and solve for w.
