Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Diameter of the Coil

The diameter of the coil is given as 18 inches.

Step 2: Calculate the Circumference of One Coil

The circumference \( C \) of a circle is calculated using the formula: \[ C = \pi \times \text{diameter} \] \[ C = \pi \times 18 \] \[ C \approx 3.14 \times 18 \] \[ C \approx 56.52 \text{ inches} \]

Step 3: Multiply the Circumference by the Number of Coils

The wire is coiled 11 times, so the total length \( L \) of the wire is: \[ L = 56.52 \times 11 \] \[ L \approx 621.72 \text{ inches} \]

Final Answer

The length of the wire to the nearest inch is approximately 622 inches.
