The central angle with vertex at the center of the Earth is : α = 12` = 1/5° = 0.2°.
The distance between two islands:
L = R π α / 180°
Earth radius = 6,317 km = 3,959 miles
L = 3,959 · 3.14 · 0.2° / 180°
L = 13.82 miles
Answer: Two islands are 13.82 statute miles apart.

Find the inverse of the relation. Use proper notation. {(8,−1),(−8,−1),(−2,−8),(2,8)} please help!!
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The inverse relation is { (-1, -8), (-1, -8), (-8, -2), (8, 2) }

The inverse is effectively the opposite of the original relation. It undoes what the original relation does. So we'll swap the x and y values for each given point in the form (x,y). Something like (8,-1) becomes (-1,8). The other points follow the same pattern as well.
