70% to passA vessel heading WSW is on a course of _______________.
A
202.5°
B
225.0°
C
247.5°
D
271.0°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 247.5°. A vessel heading WSW (West-Southwest) is on a course of 247.5°. This is derived from the standard compass directions, where WSW is the midpoint between West (270°) and Southwest (225°), which is 247.5°. The other options are incorrect because: A) 202.5° is too far to the south, representing a course more to the south of west. B) 225.0° is the course for a vessel heading directly southwest, not west-southwest. D) 271.0° is too far to the north, representing a course more to the north of west.
