Áp dụng tính chất các dãy tỉ số bằng nhau ta có:
\(\dfrac{x}{a}=\dfrac{y}{b}=\dfrac{z}{c}=\dfrac{x+y+z}{a+b+c}=\dfrac{x+y+z}{1}\)
\(x=a\left(x+y+z\right)=x^2=a^2.\left(x+y+z\right)^2\)
\(y=b\left(x+y+z\right)=y^2=b^2\left(x+y+z\right)^2\)
\(z=c\left(x+y+z\right)=z^2=c^2.\left(x+y+z\right)^2\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2+y^2+z^2=a^2\left(x+y+z\right)^2+b^2\left(x+y+z\right)^2+c^2\left(x+y+z\right)^2\)
\(=\left(x+y+z\right)^2\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)=\left(x+y+z\right)^2\) (do \(a^2+b^2+c^2=1\))
