An airplane descended 237 feet to a height of 489 feet. What was the original height of the airplane?
726 is correct I think but I am not sure it is my best guess
Yes, you are correct!
To find the original height of the airplane, we need to add the 237 feet it descended to the final height of 489 feet.
So,
Original height - 237 feet = 489 feet
Adding 237 to both sides, we get:
Original height = 726 feet
So the correct answer is A) 726 feet.
To find the original height of the airplane, we need to subtract the descent from the final height.
The descent is 237 feet, and the final height is 489 feet.
To find the original height, we perform the following calculation:
Original Height = Final Height + Descent
Original Height = 489 feet + 237 feet
Original Height = 726 feet
So, your answer is A: 726 feet.
