$${AB}=\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${BC}=\sqrt{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} +{d}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${AC}=\sqrt{\left({a}+{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({c}+{d}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${since}\:{AB}+{BC}\leqslant{AC} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} }+\sqrt{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} +{d}^{\mathrm{2}} }\leqslant\sqrt{\left({a}+{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({c}+{d}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$“{equal}''\:{holds}\:{when}\:\frac{{a}}{{c}}=\frac{{b}}{{d}} \\ $$
