Question 1569Navigation General
70% to passYou are on course 222°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 025°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
A
335°
B
247°
C
315°
D
197°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 247°. To find the true bearing to the lighthouse, you need to add the course and the relative bearing. Since the course is 222°T and the relative bearing is 025°, the true bearing to the lighthouse is 222° + 025° = 247°. The other options are incorrect because: A) 335° is the reciprocal of the relative bearing, not the true bearing. C) 315° is the sum of the course and the complement of the relative bearing, which is not the correct calculation. D) 197° is the reciprocal of the true bearing, not the true bearing itself.
