Solution
\[\text { LHS } = \left( a - b \right)\left( a + b \right) + \left( b - c \right)\left( b + c \right) + \left( c + a \right)\left( c - a \right)\]
\[ = a^2 - b^2 + b^2 - c^2 + c^2 - a^2 \left[ \because \left( a + b \right)\left( a - b \right) = a^2 - b^2 \right]\]
\[ = a^2 - b^2 + b^2 - c^2 + c^2 - a^2 \]
\[ = 0\]
= RHS
Because LHS is equal to RHS, the given equation is verified.
