    Missing info:

    What is the height of the plane to the nearest meter?

    A. 458 meters B. 454 meters C. 3,667 meters D. 3,701 meters

    We need to get the height using the this formula:

    h = m * tan (x)

    h = 3,729 m * tan (7 °)

    h = 3,729 m * 0.12278

    h = 457.85 m or 458 meters Choice A.
