If the question is about how high the airplane is in the atmosphere, I would think that an altimeter would be an answer to consider.

How do you calcuate height of instrument in surveying?

When surveying using a "level" instrument , the "level" instrument is set-up and adjusted to level by adjusting the screws. When surveying you have an instrument person and a rod person. When trying to find the height of the instrument, the rod person places there rod over a "known" elevation, either a benchmark or a temporary benchmark that has a known elevation. To get the height of the instrument, you need to "shoot" the level to the rod person holding the rod on the known elevation, this is called the "Backsight". This elevation will be read by the instrument person, and recorded in the survey field book. This value backsight elevation will then be added to the known elevation of the benchmark or the temporary benchmark, to get the height of instrument. HI = known elevation + BS Height

How can air tell the height of a mountain?

With the help of an instrument called barometer, you can tell approximately the height of a mountain, but you must climb to the top of the mountain to use such instrument. The higher is the mountain, there is less on the top of it, so the air pressure is fewer over there.

An altimeter is the instrument that is used for measuring altitudes in aircraft. It indicates the height above a reference point, typically sea level, and provides crucial information for pilots to maintain safe flying altitudes.

An airplane is sighted at the same time by two ground observers who are 4 miles apart and both directly west of the airplane They report the angles of elevation as 13 and How high is the airplane?

To find the height of the airplane, we can draw a right triangle with the two observers and the airplane. The distance between the observers is 4 miles, so we can use trigonometry to determine the height. Using the tangent function, we can set up the equation: tan(13 degrees) = height / 4 miles. Solve for height to find it is approximately 1.12 miles.
