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.
