the sum of the squares of three numbers is 138 , while the sum of their products taken two at a time is 131 . their sum is :
"explanation : let the numbers be a , b and c . then , a 2 + b 2 + c 2 = 138 and ( ab + bc + ca ) = 131 ( a + b + c ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2 ( ab + bc + ca ) 138 + 2 * 131 = 400 ( a + b + c ) = â ˆ š 400 = 20 answer : a"
add(multiply(sqrt(divide(subtract(138, 131), const_2)), const_100), sqrt(subtract(138, divide(subtract(138, 131), const_2))))
