Assuming the room is rectangular,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=L%2AW\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15.91=L%28L%2B0.6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L%5E2%2B0.6L-15.91=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28L-3.7%29%28L-4.3%29=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions but only one is positive,
\n" ); document.write( "\"L-3.7=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=3.7\"\"m\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=3.7%2B0.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=4.3\"\"m\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
