Solve the problem.Two LORAN stations are positioned 272 miles apart along a straight shore. A ship records a time difference of 0.00118 seconds between the LORAN signals. (The radio signals travel at 186,000 miles per second.) Where will the ship reach shore if it were to follow the hyperbola corresponding to this time difference? If the ship is 200 miles offshore, what is the position of the ship?
A. 110 miles from the master station, (200, 296.3)
B. 26 miles from the master station, (200, 296.3)
C. 110 miles from the master station, (296.3, 200)
