Answer:

RT = 35 Ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three resistors be R1, R2 and R3 respectively.

Given the following data;

R1 = 14 Ohms

R2 = 12 Ohms

R3 = 9 Ohms

To find the total resistance, RT;

Since all the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is equal to the sum of all three resistance of the resistors.

RT = R1 + R2 + R3

Substituting into the equation, we have

RT = 14 + 12 + 9

RT = 35 Ohms.

Therefore, the total resistance of the circuit is 35 Ohms.
