Step-by-step explanation:

(a + b + c) ² = (a + b + c) (a + b + c)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the firs factor, that is

a (a + b + c) + b (a + b + c) + c (a + b + c) ← distribute all 3 parenthesis

= a² + ab + ac + ab + b² + bc + ac + bc + c² ← collect like terms

= a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac
