Homework Statement



A picture of the circuit : http://gyazo.com/54af2ebc610eb36ea345fe7ebdbedefa

Trying to find ##R_3##.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I know the voltage across ##R_1## is ##1.8V##.

That leaves ##3V - 1.8V = 1.2V## for the rest of the circuit. I know the voltage across ##R_2## is ##1.2V##.

I know the current flowing through ##R_3## and ##R_4## is ##0.06A##.

Now my question is how much voltage is going through ##R_3##?

I know that ##0.06A## of current will flow through ##R_3## so I can use that with the voltage to find ##R_3##.
