70% to passYou are on course 344°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 270°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
A
016°
B
074°
C
090°
D
254°
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.
