Parellelograms and polynomials together, Really?

Geometry Level 5

The lengths of the sides of a triangle A B C ABC with centroid at G G are the roots of the

cubic polynomial:

k ( x ) = x 3 25 x 2 + 200 x 500 k(x)=x^3-25x^2+200x-500

If P , Q P, Q and R R are the points in the plane of the triangle such that

P A G B , Q B G C PAGB, QBGC and R A G C RAGC are parallelograms. Then find the value of:

P G 2 + Q G 2 + R G 2 PG^2+QG^2+RG^2


The answer is 75.
