I want to show the length and width of an architectural floor in the floor schedule. But I haven't found any parameters named length or width. I have found area and perimeter. I can calculate the length and width but the formula becomes a quadratic equation and it gives me two results. So, how do I find out the exact length and width of the floor in the floor schedule?

You can use Perimeter to almost get there.
...rectangle perimeter = 2*Length+2*Width.

...rectangle perimeter = 2*Length+2*Width.
Depends on the format of the quadratic equation which you have derived. (ie: values of A, B and C) In most cases t is the negative which works -sqrt((A^2)-(4*A*C))
Theoretically both values are true but practically it is only 1 which works for quadrilaterals. If you are in doubt you can check it with trial and error apply the formula on a quad 4mx5m

Length and width aren't readable parameters for things like floors, rooms and ceilings because they are not always rectangular. It would be misleading, and probably cause more harm than good, to have those as parameters. As said above, there are ways to get that info for rooms that are rectangular, but Revit will also apply those formulas to non-rectangular rooms and give you incorrect information.
