    We are given with a rectangular prism which has a formula for volume:

    Volume = W*H*L

    There were values given in the problem such as:

    H = 24 inches

    Volume = 33, 000 in³

    L = 2x

    W = x

    Solving for x, W, and L:

    33000 = 24 * 2x*x

    33000/48 = x²

    x = √687.5

    x = 26.22

    Therefore, the length is 26.22 inches and the width is 52.44 inches.
