Answer

144 $\Omega$

Work Step by Step

Power (P), Voltage (V) and Resistance (R) are connected together by the formula, P=$\frac{V^{2}}{R}$ As laid out in the question, P=100 W and V = 120 V Rearranging the formula to make R the subject of the formula, R=$\frac{V^{2}}{P}$ After substituting the values of P and V, R is found to be 144 $\Omega$
