Yes.

I don't allow my students to use calculators; I want them to know the material.

This is especially helpful when all these math is used to model physics. Abuse your calculators and you may not even be able to place a correct units beside your "calculated" number with a dozen decimal points

Looks like there's going to be more paper used for the margin than for the printed material.

So, what's the answer?

The numbers are generated at random everytime I log back in, so the new ones were 36in^2, side margins are 3/4 and top/bottom margins are 1 1/4

The answer is

Height: 5/2 + 2√15) in
Width: 3/2 + 6√3/5) in
