Answer:

7 Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

R1 = 21 Ω

The connection is parallel

Since all 3 of the resistors have the same resistance, we can use this formula to find the total resistance of the circuit:

R = R1/n (R1 is the resistance of one resistor and n is the number of resistors)

R = 21/3 = 7 Ω
