You are on course 344°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 270°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 254°.
To determine the true bearing to the lighthouse, we need to use the formula: True Bearing = Course + Relative Bearing.
Given information:
- Course: 344°T
- Relative Bearing to the lighthouse: 270°
Plugging these values into the formula:
True Bearing = 344°T + 270° = 614°
Since the true bearing cannot exceed 360°, we subtract 360° to get the final answer of 254°.
The other options are incorrect because they do not properly apply the formula to calculate the true bearing based on the given course and relative bearing.
