70% to passA vessel heading WNW is on a course of _______________.
A
270.0°
B
292.5°
C
315.0°
D
337.5°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 292.5°. A vessel heading WNW (west-northwest) is on a course of 292.5°. This is because WNW is one of the 32 points on the compass, and it corresponds to the direction that is exactly halfway between west (270°) and northwest (315°), which is 292.5°. The other options are incorrect because: A) 270.0° is due west, not WNW. C) 315.0° is northwest, not WNW. D) 337.5° is north-northwest, not WNW.
