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.
