Question 1819Navigation General

The correct answer is C) 082°. To obtain the best fix when taking a bearing of 356° on a lighthouse, the ideal bearing of another object should be approximately 90 degrees (a right angle) from the first bearing. This is because intersecting lines at right angles provide the most accurate position fix. A bearing of 082° would be approximately 90 degrees from the initial 356° bearing, giving the best geometric solution for determining the vessel's position. The other options are not optimal because they do not provide a 90-degree angle to the initial 356° bearing. A bearing of 201° would be too close to the initial bearing, while 176° and 013° would be too far off the ideal 90-degree angle.
