Final answer:

To find the bearing of D to C, subtract the bearing of D to N (110°) from the bearing of C (250°), which results in a bearing of 140°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the bearing of D to C, it's important to understand that bearings are measured from the North (0°) clockwise. If the bearing from D to North (D to N) is 110°, then this is already given in a format directly comparable to the bearing of C which is 250°.

To find the bearing from D to C, you need to calculate the difference between the bearing of C and the bearing from D to N. As such, if C is at a bearing of 250° from North and D is at a bearing of 110° from North, the bearing from D to C is simply the difference between these two bearings: 250° - 110° = 140°.

Therefore, the bearing from D to C is 140°.
