Let the sides of two rectangles be {a,b}\{a,b\} and {c,d},\{c,d\}, respectively, with a<c≤d<ba < c \leq d < b and ab<cd.ab < cd. Prove that the first rectangle can be placed within the second one if and only if

(b2−a2)2≤(bc−ad)2+(bd−ac)2.\left(b^2 - a^2\right)^2 \leq \left(bc - ad \right)^2 + \left(bd - ac \right)^2.
