Answer: This coil will not be enough to complete the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the coil of wiring can be calculated with:

C=2\pi r

Where r is the radius and \pi=3.14

The radius can be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2. Then:

r=\frac{18in}{2}\\\\r=9in

Convert 9 inches to yards (1 yard=36 inches):

(9in)(\frac{1yd}{36in})=0.25yd

Substitute this radius into the formula:

C=2(3.14)(0.25yd)\\C=1.57yd

Since there are 21 circles of wire, you need to multiply C=1.57yd by 21:

C_T=(1.57yd)(21)=32.97yd

The coil has 32.97 yards of wire and Alex needs 34 yards, therefore, this coil will not be enough  to complete the job.

What is y - 8 = -1/2 (x + 4) in standard form (8th grade math)
Scilla [17]
This equation is in point-slope form. To change it to standard form, you must distribute -1/2 to (x+4) to get -1/2x-2. Your equation should now be y-8 = -1/2x-2. You should then add 1/2x to both sides (to cancel out -1/2x on the right side). Now, you should have y+1/2x-8 = -2. Finally, add 8 to both sides (to cancel out -8 on the left side) and flip the x and the y to get a final answer of 1/2x+y = 6.
