General Navigation USCG Question #2237 (Set 68)

What is the geographic longitude of a body whose GHA is 232°27'?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 127°33'E

Geographic longitude corresponds directly to Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA). If GHA is greater than 180 degrees, subtract it from 360 degrees to find East longitude (360¼irc - 232¼irc27' = 127¼irc33'E), as the body is west of Greenwich within that hemisphere.
