General Navigation USCG Question #2196 (Set 67)

You are on course 180°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 225°. What is the true bearing of the lighthouse?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 045°

True bearing is determined by adding the true course (180°T) and the relative bearing (225°), totaling 405°T. Subtracting 360° from this sum per standard navigational rules results in a true bearing of 045°T.
