Answer:
72 segments
Step-by-step explanation:
First we convert 2 inches to feet units:
We know that one foot equals 12 inches
Then we use this conversion factor as shown below.
To know how many 
segments there are in 12 ft, we must divide 12 ft ÷ 
So:
In 12 ft there are 72 2-inch segments
Answer:26.9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:

\tan M = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}=\frac{74}{x}
tanM=

\tan 70=\frac{74}{x}
tan70=

x\tan 70=74
xtan70=74
Cross multiply.
\frac{x\tan 70}{\tan 70}=\frac{74}{\tan 70}

Divide each side by tan 70.
x=\frac{74}{\tan 70}=26.9338\approx 26.9\text{ feet}
x=

=26.9338≈26.9 feet
Type into calculator and roundto the nearest tenth of a foot.

Simply divide your wire by 12 and cut off the excess (as it cannot make a full 12-inch section).
27
÷12=2
So you have two 12-inch sections and an additional 3.4-inch section.
