You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a rectangle has the length L and width W and area is A=L%2AW
if 340=L%2AW, we can find the possible dimensions if we find factors of 340
340|2
170|2
85 |5
17 |17
1
the possible dimensions (assuming that length is greater than width):
L=340 and W=1
L=170 and W=2
L=85 and W=4
L=34 and W=10
L=20 and W=17
