Follow-up Question

From the same diagram. An unknown length of platinum wire 0.920mm in diameter is placed as the unknown resistance in a wheatstone bridge (same diagram above). Arms 1, 2, and 3 have resistance of 38 ohms, and 46 ohms respectively. Balance is achieved when R3 is 3.48 ohms. How long is the platinum wire?
