Question 575Navigation General

The correct answer is B) 90 degrees. The eight points of a compass (north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest) are equally spaced, dividing a full 360-degree circle into eight 45-degree sections. Therefore, the eight points of a compass are equal to 90 degrees. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 45 degrees would represent only one of the eight compass points, not the full 360-degree circle divided by eight; C) 180 degrees would be half of the full 360-degree circle, not the eight-point compass division; and D) 360 degrees would be the full circle, not the eight-point compass division.
