The standard form of a complex number is $a + bi$, where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers. The given complex number is in polar form, $r(\cos \theta + i\sin \theta)$, where $r = 2$, $\theta = 340^\circ$. To convert it to standard form, calculate $a = r\cos\theta = 2\cos340^\circ$ and $b = r\sin\theta = 2\sin340^\circ$. Using a calculator, $a \approx 1.88$ and $b \approx -0.68$, so the standard form is $1.88 - 0.68i$.
