You can't find the length and width only knowing the area. It could be a 20 foot by 22.5 foot nearly square room, or it could be an inch wide and 5400 feet long -- or anywhere in between. Now if you had some sense of the proportions, such as "the length is twice the width" or "the width is two and a half feet less than the length" or some other words to that general effect, THEN we can do something.
