The lamp cord is 85cm long and comprises cupper wire. Calculate the wire‘s resistance? radius of a wire is 1.8mmm, Use value of resistivity for Cu as 1.75 × 10-8Ωm.

R = 0.0015Ω

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the resistivity of a material is expressed as;

ρ = RA/l

R is the resistance

ρ is the resistivity

A is the area of the wire

l is the length of the wire

Given

l = 85cm = 0.85m

A = πr²

A = 3.14*0.0018²

A = 0.0000101736m²

ρ = 1.75 × 10-8Ωm.

Substitute into the formula

1.75 × 10-8 = 0.0000101736R/0.85

1.4875× 10-8 = 0.0000101736R

R = 1.4875× 10-8/0.0000101736

R = 0.0015Ω

the entire statement is true and correct.  

there's no diagram, nothing is illustrated, and no question is asked.
