    We know that

    applying the Pythagorean theorem

    if the room is in the shape of a square, then

    (19² + 19²) must be equal to 20.62²

    (19² + 19²) = 722

    20.62²=425.18

    then

    (19² + 19²) is not 20.62²

    Hence

    the answer is

    the room is not in the shape of a square
