can you help me in number 5?

2. A 1.5-m wire measuring 1.5 m3 has a resistance of 0.955-µ0 at 20 °C. Calculate
the resistance of the wire at 20 °C if the length is changed to 150-m and its area
to 450-cm?.
3. A 1-km cable consists of 12 identical strands of aluminum, each 3mm in
diameter. What is the resistance of the cable? (Hint: the 12 strands resemble 12
resistances in parallel, each resistance being the resistance of each strand).
