Hi there !!

Given,

a + b + c = 9

ab + bc + ca = 40

To find : a² + b² + c²

The following expression matches to the algebraic identity

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac or

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2( ab + bc + ac)

Thus,

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ac)

substituting the values,

we have,

9² = a² + b² + c² + 2( 40)

81 = a² + b² + c² + 80

Transposing 80 to LHS,

we have,

81 - 80 = a² + b² + c²

Thus,

a² + b² + c² = 1
