Homework Statement
[/B]
A.) Simplify the circuit (Figure 1) by using a Y-to-Δ transformation involving the resistors R2, R3, and R5 as shown in (Figure 2) . Determine the resistances of the equivalent Δ.
B.) Determine the equivalent resistance Rab in the circuit.
Hopefully these two figures show up. If not, just say so and I'll try to fix them.

Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I've simplified the circuit and found:
Ra = 154 Ω
Rb = 92.4 Ω
Rc =
I know these values are correct. My problem is with part B. Now that I've got the resistance of the 3 new resistors, I'm unsure about how to find the equivalent resistance between terminals a and b. What about this Y-to-Δ transformation makes this circuit easier to work with?
