1.15(300). Substitute k for 300, since the plane is flying 300 knots per hour, and k=knots per hour.
1.15(300)=345 miles per hour After multiplying, 300 by 1.15, you get 345 miles per hour. This is the speed of the plane from Knots to MPH (Miles Per Hour).
The small box at the corner of the triangle indicates that the triangle is exactly 90 degrees, or a right angle. In order to solve the expression, you would need to do 40 + x = 90, which would be x = 50
