Áp dụng tính chất dãy tỉ số bằng nhau ta có:
\(\dfrac{x}{a}=\dfrac{y}{b}=\dfrac{z}{c}=\dfrac{x+y+z}{a+b+c}=x+y+z\)
\(\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a=\dfrac{x}{x+y+z}\\b=\dfrac{y}{x+y+z}\\c=\dfrac{z}{x+y+z}\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{x^2}{\left(x+y+z\right)^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{\left(x+y+z\right)^2}+\dfrac{z^2}{\left(x+y+z\right)^2}=1\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2+y^2+z^2=\left(x+y+z\right)^2\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2+y^2+z^2=x^2+y^2+z^2-2\left(xy+yz+zx\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow2\left(xy+yz+zx\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow xy+yz+zx=0\) (đpcm)
