What size electrical wire is required for 20 amp breaker 275 feet away?

Would probably go with 10 gauge since 12 would do normally, a 275' length is a long run. Voltage drop would be a concern, especially if the load of the device had a high start up demand. Air conditioner, refrigeration unit, air compressor, etc.

To answer this question correctly a voltage must be given, since sizing the wire is all about voltage drop over a distance.

How much loss from power pole to 200 amp breaker box then off 400 feet then split at a pump house then another 30 feet to a 100 amp breaker box?
For an accurate calculation it will be necessary to know what the size of breaker exists in the pump house and what size conductors are used. Power loss is measured using actual amps required, not size of the circuit involved. But the size of circuit (breaker size) can be used. Voltage must also be known.
Is 10-3 wire heavy enough for a washer-dryer combination if they are 50 feet away from the breaker box?
10/3 will be fine if its not more than 75 feet Assuming they draw 30A or less, yes.
Is a 12 gauge wire on 20 amp breaker safe for a sub panel?
Yes, if you are running it no farther than 100 feet. If you are going over 100 feet use AWG # 10 wire on the 20 amp breaker.
