The master mind's problem

Algebra Level 5

{ X 2 + Y 2 3 + X Y = 25 , Y 2 3 + Z 2 = 9 , Z 2 + Z X + X 2 = 16 \begin{cases} X^2+\dfrac{Y^{2}}{3}+XY=25 , \\ \dfrac{Y^{2}}{3}+Z^2=9 , \\ Z^2+ZX+X^2=16 \end{cases} If X , Y X,Y and Z Z are positive real numbers satisfying the system of equations above, find X Y + 2 Y Z + 3 Z X XY+2YZ+3ZX .


The answer is 41.6.
