Question 1528Navigation General
70% to passYou are on course 357°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 180°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
A
227°
B
363°
C
003°
D
177°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 177°. To find the true bearing to the lighthouse, we need to add the course and the relative bearing. The course is 357°T, and the relative bearing is 180°. Adding these two values gives us 357° + 180° = 537°. Since 537° is greater than 360°, we subtract 360° to get the true bearing of 177°. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the relationship between the course, relative bearing, and true bearing.
