Question

Evaluate 3(a + b + c)squared for a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4.

a. 54
b. 243
c.729

Please add solution thanks.

Answer 1

So, we have to sum the three numbers, square the result, and then multiply the result by three.

We have

$a+b+c = 2+3+4 = 9$

If we square this result, we get

$9^2=81$

If we multiply this by 3, we have

$81 \cdot 3 = 243$
