$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} ={b}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{bc}\mathrm{cos}\:{A} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}{bc}\mathrm{cos}\:{A}={b}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${similarily} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}{ca}\mathrm{cos}\:{B}={c}^{\mathrm{2}} +{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}{ab}\mathrm{cos}\:{C}={a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} −{c}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}\left({bc}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{A}+{ca}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{B}+{ab}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{C}\right)\:={a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
