Note that 2 ( a 2 b 2 + b 2 c 2 + c 2 a 2 ) − a 4 + b 4 + c 4 = ( a + b + c ) ( a + b − c ) ( b + c − a ) ( c + a − b ) = 0 .
WLOG, assume c = m a x ( a , b , c ) = > c = a + b .
For a triangle of side lengths a , b , c to exist, ( a + b ) 2 ≥ c = > a + b + 2 a b ≥ c = > 2 a b ≥ 0 , which is obviously true.
