**Determine the Total Resistance for the Circuit**

Given:

- \( R_1 = 10 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 5 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 14 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_4 = 15 \, \Omega \)

(Round the FINAL answer to one decimal place.)

**Circuit Diagram Explanation:**

The circuit diagram consists of four resistors and a voltage source labeled \( E_T \). The resistors \( R_1 \), \( R_2 \), \( R_3 \), and \( R_4 \) are arranged in a combination of series and parallel configurations.

- **Series Components:**
  - Resistor \( R_1 \) is in series with the parallel combination of \( R_2 \), \( R_3 \) and \( R_4 \).

- **Parallel Components:**
  - Resistors \( R_2 \), \( R_3 \), and \( R_4 \) are connected in parallel to each other.

**Steps to Calculate Total Resistance:**

1. **Calculate the Equivalent Resistance of the Parallel Resistors:**

   \[
   \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel}}} = \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} + \frac{1}{R_4}
   \]

   Substituting the given values:

   \[
   \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel}}} = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{14} + \frac{1}{15}
   \]

   \[
   R_{\text{parallel}} = \left(\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{14} + \frac{1}{15}\right)^{-1}
   \]

2. **Calculate the Total Resistance in the Circuit:**

   \[
   R_{\text{total}} = R_1 + R_{\text{parallel}}
   \]

3. **Round the Final Answer to One Decimal Place.**
