First factorize (a-b)^3 , (b-c)^3 and (c-a)^3 separately and then add them together to get the final result. (a-b)^3 = a^3 - b^3 - 3a^2b + 3ab^2 ................(1) (b-c)^3 = b^3 - c^3 - 3b^2c + 3bc^2 .................(2) (c-a)^3 = c^3 - a^3 - 3ac^2 + 3 a^2c ...

This gives, a^3 - b^3 - 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3 - c^3 - 3b^2c + 3bc^2 + c^3 - a^3 - 3ac^2 + 3 a^2c = -3a^2b + 3ab^2 - 3b^2c + 3bc^2 - 3ac^2 + 3 a^2c read less

a3-3a2b+3ab2-b3 + b3-3b2c+3bc2-c3 + c3-3c2a+3ca2-a3 = -3a2b+3ab2 -3b2c+3bc2 -3c2a+3ca2 = 3a2 ( c-b) + 3b2 ( a-c ) + 3c2 (b-a)

we know, x3+y3=(x+y)(x2−xy+y2)x3+y3=(x+y)(x2−xy+y2) so, (a−b)3+(b−c)3=(a−c)((a−b)2−(a−b)(b−c)+(b−c)2) (a−b)3+(b−c)3=(a−c)((a−b)2−(a−b)(b−c)+(b−c)2) now, (a−b)3+(b−c)3+(c−a)3=(a−c)((a−b)2−(a−b)(b−c)+(b−c)2)+(c−a)3=(c−a)(−(a−b)2+(a−b)(b−c)−(b−c)2+(c−a)2) (a−b)3+(b−c)3+(c−a)3=(a−c)((a−b)2−(a−b)(b−c)+(b−c)2)+(c−a)3=(c−a)(−(a−b)2+(a−b)(b−c)−(b−c)2+(c−a)2) now,...

The angles of a triangle are arranged in ascending order of magnitude. If the difference between two consecutive angles is 10°, find all the three angles.
Let the any one of the angle of triangle be x then other two angle are x+10, x+20 According to Question, x + (x+10) + (x+20)=180 3x + 30 = 180 3x = 150 x = 50 Thus, angles would be 50, 60, and 70.
