S.L. Hakimi has studied the problem of packing rectangles with given areas and prescribed ranges for their aspect ratios into a rectangle of least area. It has been shown that the problem is NP-complete whereas some special cases are solvable in polynomial time. This paper generalizes the special cases which are solvable in polynomial time.
