Will a 4x8 sheet of plywood fit in a Ford Ranger bed?

Not flat with the tailgate up. The floor is about 60 inches long, and a sheet is 96 inches, so it rides on the lowered tailgate. It does clear the 48 inch width between the wheel wells laid flat.

How long is the Ford Ranger bed at the floor?

About 59.6 inches at the floor with the tailgate up, and about 81 inches to the end of the lowered tailgate.

Can a dirt bike fit in a Ranger bed?

A single dirt bike can fit at an angle with the tailgate down and a wheel chock, since a typical dirt bike wheelbase is longer than the 60 inch floor. Check your bike wheelbase in the calculator.
