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.

The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25%. Find the measurement of the angle and its
tester [92]
Let the angles be A and C 

<span>Complimentary angles, therefor </span>
<span>A + C = 90 </span>

<span>The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25% (you used a % sign so I'll use % instead of degrees) </span>
<span>C = 1.25A </span>

<span>Substitute </span>
<span>A + 1.25A = 90 </span>
<span>2.25A = 90 </span>
<span>A = 40º <----- </span>
<span>C = 50º <----- </span>
<span>------------------------------ </span>

<span>If you meant 25º </span>
<span>A + (A + 25) = 90 </span>
<span>2A + 25 = 90 </span>
<span>2A = 65 </span>
<span>A = 32.5º </span>
<span>C = 57.5º</span>
