We have determinant: 

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 1 &bc &a(b+c) \\ 1& ca &b(c+a) \\ 1& ab &c(a+b) \end{vmatrix} 

Applying C_{3} \rightarrow C_{2} + C_{3} we have then;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 1 &bc & ab+bc+ca \\ 1& ca &ab+bc+ca \\ 1& ab &ab+bc+ca \end{vmatrix}

So, here column 3 and column 1 are proportional.

Therefore, \triangle = 0.
