The resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire. This means that if the length increased so does the resistance. They are linked by the equation R is directly proportional to length over area R=l/a. so this means that the 30cm wire will have thrice the resistance of the 10cm wire if the area of cross-section of both thee wires is the same.
