I have Ubuntu 14.04 server running. It is running on VirtualBox 5.1.12r112440. The vdi size was 50GB but I used this link to resize it successfully to 200GB:
However when I boot the VM up it says root / is next to zero disk space.
The image shows that I have about 50GB of unallocated space in the /dev/sda5 extended partition to use for resizing the partition for root. In the GParted Live CD app thats displayed I dont see the devices /dev/sda2 - /dev/sda4. I suspect that root is one of this non listed partitions. So how do I get root more disk space?

Thanks for helping!
Please refer to my answer as to why this is not answered by the "possible duplicate". The write up in the link I provided is a pretty good walk through on how to resize a LVM partition.
