Question 1 of 2066636eea28f7522a1c51abcd

From your 1850 position of 41°12.8'N, 71°44.1'W, you change course to 060°T. If you make the course good, what will be your predicted distance off Point Judith Light when the Light bears 015°T?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Plotting an initial fix and new course line from 41°12.8'N, 71°44.1'W on the chart • Using the relative geometry between your track, Point Judith Light, and the bearing 015°T • Measuring perpendicular distance (closest point of approach) from a known point to a track line

💭 Think About

• After you plot your starting position and lay off course 060°T, where is Point Judith Light relative to that track? Ahead, abeam, or off to one side? • When the light bears 015°T from your vessel, is that bearing crossing your track at a sharp angle or nearly at right angles? How does that affect distance off? • If you draw the line of bearing 015°T from Point Judith Light that is reciprocal to what you will see from the vessel, where does it intersect your 060°T track, and how far is that intersection from the light?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using the true bearing (015°T) and not converting to magnetic unless the problem tells you to • Confirm that you drew the reciprocal bearing from Point Judith Light toward your track correctly (add or subtract 180°) • Measure the shortest distance from Point Judith Light to your 060°T track at the intersection point, not along the track itself
