The three possible ways to present the number 89 as the sum of three squares are
89 = 9 + 64 + 16 = 3^2 + 8^2 + 4^2 ( so, (a,b,c) = (3,8,4) ),
89 = 49 + 36 + 4 = 7^2 + 6^2 + 2^2 ( so, (d,e,f) = (7,6,2) ),
89 = 81 + 4 + 4 = 9^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 ( so, (g,h,i) = (9,2,2) ).
Then (a+b+c)*(d+e+f)*(g+h+i) = (3+8+4)*(7+6+2)*(9+2+2) = 15*15*13 = 2925. ANSWER
Solved.
