Solution

Sure, here's how you can calculate the resistance:

Step 1: Understand the formula for resistors in parallel. The formula is 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ..., where Rt is the total resistance, and R1, R2, R3, etc. are the resistances of the individual resistors.

Step 2: In this case, we know the total resistance (Rt) is 116 Ohms, and one of the resistors (R1) is 146 Ohms. We're trying to find the resistance of the second resistor (R2). So we can rewrite the formula as 1/Rt - 1/R1 = 1/R2.
