need help with circuit resistance test question

[atticus726]

hi i need someones help who understands how to find total resistance of a circuit.
i attached the picture of the circuit.  question is "what would be the resistance measured between point A and point B.  R1=50 ohms, R2=25 ohms, R3=5 ohms.

i am not sure if this is a parrallel circuit or a peries parallel circuit.

Hi Atticus,
Welcome to our forum. ;D
I hope your teacher won't get mad at you for not doing your own homework.
I think the resistors are connected like this:

so then if they are all in parallel with each other then it would be

              1                                                                        1
________________                                  _____________________________
1            1            1              =                      1                  2                10
--    +    --      +    --                                      --                  --                --
50          25          5                                      50                50                50

               
                                        1
                                      -----
                                      13            =      50
                                      ----                    --      =  3.846 ohms total resistance?
                                        50                    13
does this look right?

I think your answer is correct.
Did you see that the resistors are in parallel?
