A student claims that if \(a+b+c=12\) and \(ab+bc+ca=35\), then \(a^2+b^2+c^2=74\). Which option about the student’s claim is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The claim is correct; the value is \(74\).

Using \((a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2(ab+bc+ca)\), we get \(a^2+b^2+c^2=12^2-2\times35=144-70=74\). Thus, the claim is correct. \(109\) results from forgetting the factor \(2\). Exam tip: always check the coefficient of mixed terms.
