length = L
width = W
height = H = 15

Volume = LWH = 240

Area of base = WH = 240/15 = 16

No solution -- there is not enough information.

The volume is the area of the base, multiplied by the height.

Given that the volume is 240 and the height is 15, we can conclude that the area of the base is 240/15 = 16.

But there is not enough information to be able to determine the length and width.
