Question 60

$$a, b, c$$ are three positive numbers, such that, $$(a + b + c) = 20, a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 152$$. The value of $$(ab + bc + ca)$$ is equal to:

$$(a + b + c)^{2}=a^2 + b^2 + c^2+2(ab+bc+ac)$$

$$20^{2}=a^2 + b^2 + c^2+2(ab+bc+ac)$$

$$400=152+2(ab+bc+ac)$$

$$(ab+bc+ac)=\frac{248}{2}=124$$
