Six copper wires have the listed lengths and cross-sectional areas. The resistance R of each segment can be calculated using pL R = where p is the resistivity, L is the length of the wire, and A is the wire's cross-sectional area. Rank the resistances of the wires from highest to lowest. Highest L, A 4L, A 4A 4L, 4 L,4A Lowest
