The Leeway Table for these exercises only goes up to 180 degrees how can I predict the rest of the leeway up to 360 degrees ?

Past 180° the wind is coming from the other side of the boat. The TWA is give in degrees off the bow, so there is not reason for it to go beyond 180°. If you insist on knowing the value for 200°, it'll be the value of 160°.

UPDATED, I think I glossed over the difference between TWD and TWA. I thin I need to determine the TWA based on the heading. I'm still confused regarding the Leeway Table. As an example, In the answer table for problem 3-1, the TWD is 270 and the leeway angle is listed as 8 degrees. if measured off the bow in direction of the water track is is not right either. Any thoughts welcome.
