DME provides which type of information when used with VOR?

Explanation:
DME provides the distance from your aircraft to the VOR/DME station. It measures the time delay of signals to compute slant range, and the display shows nautical miles. The VOR portion supplies bearing (radial) from the station, not distance. So together you get how far you are from the station and the direction to the station, allowing position fixes. The other options—bearing from the station, altitude above terrain, or wind speed—aren’t provided by DME.
