A vessel heading SW is on a course of _______________.
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.
