You'll get:
$\displaystyle 36\Omega=\frac{\rho \cdot 20 m}{\pi \cdot (3mm)^2}$ $\displaystyle \Longrightarrow\ \rho=\frac{36\Omega \cdot\pi\cdot 9 mm^2}{20m}$
Now plug in the values you know and you'll get:
$\displaystyle R=\frac{\frac{36\Omega \cdot\pi\cdot 9 mm^2}{20m}\cdot 60 m}{\pi\cdot 36 mm^2}$$\displaystyle \ =\ 27\Omega$
