Question 1823Navigation General

The correct answer is C) 182°. The reasoning is that to obtain the best fix, you want to take a bearing that is as close to perpendicular (90 degrees) to the first bearing as possible. In this case, the first bearing is 264°, so a bearing of 182° (which is 90 degrees from 264°) would provide the best intersecting angle for a fix. The other options are not as optimal - 059° and 291° are not perpendicular enough to 264°, while 239° is too close to the original 264° bearing, resulting in a less reliable fix.
