$\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{g}}=12\, \Omega, \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}=3 \mathrm{\,mA}$

$\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{g}}+\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}}}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}}}{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}}-\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{g}}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}}=5988\, \Omega$
