A vessel heading SSW is on a course of _______________.

A 202.5°
B 225.0°
C 247.5°
D 270.0°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 202.5°. A vessel heading SSW (South-Southwest) is on a course of 202.5°. This is because a compass heading of South-Southwest (SSW) is exactly halfway between South (180°) and Southwest (225°), which is 202.5°. The other options are incorrect because: B) 225.0° is the heading for Southwest, not South-Southwest. C) 247.5° is the heading for West-Southwest, not South-Southwest. D) 270.0° is the heading for West, not South-Southwest.
