70% to passYou are on course 027°T and take a relative bearing to a lighthouse of 220°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
A
113°
B
193°
C
247°
D
279°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 247°. To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the relationship between the course, relative bearing, and true bearing. The formula is: True Bearing = Course + Relative Bearing. In this case, the course is 027°T, and the relative bearing to the lighthouse is 220°. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: True Bearing = 027° + 220° = 247°. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the true bearing from the given information.
