Radius of wire, $\text{r}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\text{mm}=0.05\text{cm}$
Let the length of the wire be l.
As,
Volume of the wire $= 66cm^3$
$\Rightarrow\pi\text{r}^2\text{l}=66$
$\Rightarrow\frac{22}{7}\times0.05\times0.05\times\text{l}=66$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=66\times\frac{7}{22\times0.05\times0.05}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=8400\text{cm}=84\text{m}$
So, the length of the wire is 84 m.
