The total reactance across a circuit with a resistance, an inductance and a capacitance in series is given by:

VRLC = VR + j(VLVC) (from the definitions)

Now

|VR | = 12 V

|VL | = 15.5 V

|VC | = 10.5 V

Now VRLC = VR + j(VL - VC)

= 12 + j(15.5 - 10.5)

= 12 + 5j V

The magnitude of this voltage is:

|12 + 5j| = 13 V (from calculator)
