a, (a + b + c)^2 + (a - b - c)^2 +( b - c - a) ^2 + (c - a - b)^2
= (a + b + c)^2 + (a + b - c)^2 + (a - b - c)^2 + (a - b + c)^2
= (a + b)^2 + 2c(a + b) + c^2 + (a + b)^2 - 2c(a + b) + c^2 +
(a - b)^2 - 2c(a - b) + c^2 + (a - b)^2 + 2c(a - b) +c^2
= 2(a + b)^2 + 2c^2 + 2(a - b)^2 + 2c^2
= 2[(a + b)^2 + (a - b)^2] + 4c^2
=2(2a^2 + 2b^2) + 4c^2
= 4(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)
