    The total resistance is R = voltage / current

    This resistance R = (L/A) r where:

    r is the resistivity

    L is the length of the conductor

    A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor.

    thus r = RA/L

    You are given L; you can compute R from the voltage and current you are given; and the cross-sectional area of a round wire is (pi) (radius^2) or (pi/4) (diameter^2)
