Question 708Navigation General

The correct answer is D) 079°. To intercept vessel A, you need to calculate the course to steer that will bring your vessel to the same position as vessel A at the same time. This is known as an "intercept" problem in navigation. The key information given is the bearing and distance of vessel A from your position, as well as your own speed. Using this data, you can calculate the course to steer that will allow you to arrive at vessel A's position at the same time. The correct course to steer is 079°, as this will put you on a converging course with vessel A based on the provided information. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the optimal course to intercept vessel A given the provided parameters.
