To solve the problem, you can subtract the difference between the original height and the descending height from the final height.
Original height = Final height + Descending height difference
Original height = 489 ft + 237 ft
Original height = 726 ft
Therefore, the original height of the airplane was 726 feet.
An airplane descended 237 feet to a height of 489 feet. What was the original height of the airplane?
