You need the resistivity of the material: I think "cuivre" is "copper". You can easily look up the figure on Google.
It varies with temperature, so you really should also be told the operating temperature.
Multiply by the length and divide by the cross sectional area.
Not sure about Rt - I'd need a better translation of "ramenée au secondaire" than Google gives me before I could help you! I think it means the total resistance seen from the secondary of the transformer. i.e. the real part of the source impedance.

i would really appreciate it you help me because am applying for a job and i need to solve this .

ramenée au secondair means the total resistance seen from the secondary of the transformer and it is noted as Rt

Presumably, you need to understand it, rather than just give a numeric answer.
What do you know about how impedances change with the turns ratio?

Another way of thinking about it: If you are measuring it at the secondary, it doesn't matter a bit what voltage the power is being supplied at the primary, so assume that it is being supplied at the same voltage as the secondary, in other words: how would it behave if it were a 1:1 isolating transformer?

if the turn ratio is 1:1 the impedance will stay the same .
so the issue here is that Ra is already represented in the BT cable
so is Rt calculated as Rt=m.Ra ??
or Rt= R'+mRa
i solved the problem but i need to be sure .
also the same goes for the reactance Xt

What is m? If it is the ratio of the primary and secondary impedances, then you are correct.
For Vp=20kV Vs=410V what value are you using for m?

yes m here is the turn ratio
m=Vp/Vs

you mean am correct in what exactly ?
please if you can share your calculation here for Rt so i know what i ll ask .
i solved Rt as follows : Rt=mRa .

The turns ratio is usually called n (I suppose you can call it m if you want to).
So the voltage ratio is also m, and the current ratio is 1/m, but the impedance ratio is NOT m.
