Question 1376Navigation General70% to pass
You are on course 180°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 225°. What is the true bearing of the lighthouse?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 045°.
To determine the true bearing of the lighthouse, we need to add the relative bearing (225°) to the course (180°T). Since the relative bearing is measured clockwise from the ship's heading, the true bearing of the lighthouse is 180° + 225° = 045°.
The other options are incorrect because: B) 135° is 180° away from the correct answer, C) 180° does not account for the relative bearing, and D) 270° is 90° away from the correct answer.
