### Problem Statement

Given a house wire with wire gauge #12, with a diameter of 80.808 mils. The resistivity of the material is 1.68 x 10^-6 ohm-cm. You are required to find the resistance of a 100-foot copper wire.

### Definitions and Conversion

- **Mil to Inches Conversion**:  
  1 mil = 1/1000 inches.

### Resistivity Formula

The resistance \( R \) can be calculated using the formula:

\[ R = \left( \frac{1}{K'} \right) \times \frac{4 \times L}{\pi \times D^2} \]

Where:
- \( 1/K' \) is the resistivity,
- \( L \) is the length of the wire,
- \( D \) is the diameter of the wire. 

### Hint

Use the given values and formula to calculate the resistance.
