a 4 + b 4 + c 4 = 2 c 2 a 2 + 2 c 2 b 2
⟹ a 4 + b 4 + c 4 − 2 c 2 a 2 − 2 c 2 b 2 + 2 a 2 b 2 = 2 a 2 b 2
⟹ ( a 2 + b 2 − c 2 ) 2 = 2 a 2 b 2
⟹ a 2 + b 2 − c 2 = 2 a b
⟹ a b a 2 + b 2 − c 2 = 2
⟹ 2 a b a 2 + b 2 − c 2 = 2 1
BY COSINE RULE:
⟹ cos C = 2 1
⟹ C = 4 5 o
Also for C = 1 3 5 we missed out this portion that if
⟹ ( a 2 + b 2 − c 2 ) 2 = 2 a 2 b 2
then it can also be written
⟹ ( c 2 − b 2 − a 2 ) 2 = 2 a 2 b 2
⟹ c 2 − b 2 − a 2 = 2 a b
So again by same steps we get C = 1 3 5 o
