You are on course 344°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 090°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 074°.
To determine the true bearing to the lighthouse, we need to add the course (344°T) and the relative bearing (090°) together. The true bearing is the sum of these two values, which equals 074°.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 016° is incorrect as it does not account for the relative bearing.
C) 254° is incorrect as it is the opposite of the true bearing.
D) 270° is incorrect as it does not take the course into account.
