Question 595Navigation General
70% to passA vessel heading SW is on a course of _______________.
A
202.5°
B
225.0°
C
247.5°
D
270.0°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 225.0°. A vessel heading southwest is on a course of 225.0°. This is because southwest is one of the four primary compass directions, which are spaced 45 degrees apart. The bearing for southwest is 225.0°, which is halfway between 180° (south) and 270° (west). The other answer choices are incorrect because 202.5° is not a primary compass direction, 247.5° is northeast, and 270.0° is west, not southwest.
