There are three, not four, factors that determine the resistance of a conductor. These are the length of a conductor, its cross-sectional area, and its resistivity.

As resistivity is affected by temperature, you could say that temperature indirectly affects resistance but, strictly, temperature is affecting the resistivity not the resistance -which is why it is not considered a 'fourth' factor.

So, resistance = resistivity x (length/area)
