You are on course 030°T. The relative bearing of a lighthouse is 45°. What is the true bearing?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 075°.
The true bearing of the lighthouse can be calculated by adding the course (030°T) and the relative bearing (45°). This gives us a true bearing of 075°.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) 255° is 180° off from the correct answer.
B) 015° is the reciprocal of the course, not the true bearing.
C) 345° is the complement of the relative bearing, not the true bearing.
