#10^@#

Explanation:

I believe this is the right answer:

The ship's bearing is #80^@#, which is the measure between the #y#-axis and the terminal side.

Standard angles are angles that start at the origin and have the #x#-axis as the terminal side. We know we are in quadrant one.

We know in the quadrant is #90^@#. #80^@# are already being taken up by the ship's bearing, so we can subtract these two. We get

#10^@#. This represents the angle in standard position.

Hope this helps!
