- a^2+b^2+c^2 = ab+bc+ca is possible only if a = b = c
which means (a+b)/c = 2
So the value of (a+b)/c is always equal to 2 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- a^2+b^2+c^2 = ab+bc+ca
=> 2a^2+2b^2+2c^2 = 2ab+2bc+2ca
=> (a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2 = 0
=> a=b=c
(a+b)/c is equal to 2. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- i think it is 2...just consider values of a,b,c as 1,1,1...which satisfies the given condition...hence (a+b)/c=2...

- a=1, b=1, c=1
1^2+1^2+1^2 = 1*1 + 1*1 + 1*1
3=3;
(a+b)/c=2...Ans

- average = sum of all the sale/number of months
=6435+6927+6855+7230+6562/5
= 34009
for average of 6500 for 6 months=6500*6=39000
39000-34009=4991
for his 6 month sale should be Rs4991 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
