If:
L = the length of the room (the word "long" implies "length")
W = the width of the room (the word "broad" implies "width)
H = the height of the room (the word "high" implies "height)
Then:
H = 0.5L
And W = 1.5H = 1.5(0.5L) = 0.75L
L = the length of the room (the word "long" implies "length")
W = the width of the room (the word "broad" implies "width)
H = the height of the room (the word "high" implies "height)
Then:
H = 0.5L
And W = 1.5H = 1.5(0.5L) = 0.75L

So, if the room is two metres high, it's three metres wide and four metres long.
