You are on course 222°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 025°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 247°. To find the true bearing to the lighthouse, we need to add the course (222°T) and the relative bearing (025°) of the lighthouse. The true bearing is the sum of these two values, which is 247°. The other options are incorrect because: A) 315° is 90° off from the correct true bearing. B) 335° is 110° off from the correct true bearing. C) 197° is 50° off from the correct true bearing.
