Step 1
Given (a - 1)2 + (b - 2)2 + (c - 1)2 = 0
It means the sum of (a - 1)2, (b - 2)2 and (c - 1)2 is equals to 0.

We know that the square of a number cannot be negative. T heref ore, the sum of these
non-negative numbers (a - 1)2, (b - 2)2 and (c - 1)2 can be zero only if all of them are also
equal to zero.
