Solution

$a + b + c = 9 \Rightarrow (a + b + c)^{2} = (9)^{2} \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + 2 a b + 2 b c + 2 c a = 81 \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + 2 (a b + b c + c a) = 81 \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + 2 \times 24 = 81 \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + 48 = 81 \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} = 81 - 48 \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} = 33$ .
