Given:

Area of rectangular plot = 340 sq. m

Breadth = 17 m

Area of rectangle = length × breadth

⇒ Length = $\dfrac{\text{Area}}{\text{Breadth}}$

= $\dfrac{340}{17}$

= 20 m

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

= 2(20 + 17) m

= 2 × 37 m

= 74 m

Hence, the length of the plot is 20 m and the perimeter is 74 m.
