The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( a^2 + b^2 + c^2 \) in a right-angled triangle, where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) represent the lengths of the sides of the triangle. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Triangle**: We have a right-angled triangle with sides \( a \), \( b \), and hypotenuse \( c \). According to the Pythagorean theorem, we know that: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] 2. **Identify the Circumradius**: In a right-angled triangle, the circumradius \( R \) is given by: \[ R = \frac{c}{2} \] Therefore, we can express \( c \) in terms of \( R \): \[ c = 2R \] 3. **Substituting \( c \) in the Pythagorean Theorem**: We can substitute \( c \) in the Pythagorean theorem: \[ a^2 + b^2 = (2R)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ a^2 + b^2 = 4R^2 \] 4. **Calculate \( a^2 + b^2 + c^2 \)**: Now we need to calculate \( a^2 + b^2 + c^2 \): \[ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = a^2 + b^2 + (2R)^2 \] Substituting \( a^2 + b^2 = 4R^2 \) into the equation: \[ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 4R^2 + 4R^2 = 8R^2 \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the value of \( a^2 + b^2 + c^2 \) in a right-angled triangle is: \[ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 8R^2 \] ### Final Answer: The correct option is \( 8R^2 \). ---
