General Navigation USCG Question #1920 (Set 60)

A great circle crosses the equator at 134°E. It will also cross the equator at what other longitude?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — 46°W

A great circle bisects the equator at antipodal points separated by precisely 180 degrees of longitude. Applying this rule to 134°E (180° minus 134° = 46°) and switching hemispheres gives 46°W, per standard navigational spherical trigonometry.
