#Variable Declaration
A=92.9;          #absorption(m**2)
V=2265;          #volume(m**3)

#Calculation
T1=0.161*V/A;        #reverberation time of hall without audience(seconds)
T2=0.161*V/(A*2);    #reverberation time of hall with audience(seconds)

#Result
print "reverberation time of hall without audience is",round(T1,1),"seconds"
print "reverberation time of hall with audience is",round(T2,3),"seconds"

reverberation time of hall without audience is 3.9 seconds
reverberation time of hall with audience is 1.963 seconds
