If (a−b)^2 +(b−c)^2 +(c−a)^2 =0, then  the values of a, b and c are equal.
If(ab)2+(bc)2+(ca)2=0,thenthevaluesofa,bandcareequal.

a=b=c only when a,b,c ∈ R.
a=b=conlywhena,b,cR.

If (a−b)^2  is a whole square so (a−b)^2 ≥0.  Similarly (b−c)^2 ≥0 and (c−a)^2 ≥0  Given (a−b)^2 +(b−c)^2 +(c−a)^2 ≥0  Each of the terms have to be equal to 0.  a−b=0⇒a=b  b−c=0⇒b=c  c−a=0⇒c=a  Hence  a=b=c
