It suffices to show that ∣BC3−CD3∣≤3∣AB3−AD3∣, because the other side of the inequality follows by symmetry. By Pitot's Theorem, we have AB−AD=BC−CD. WLOG, let AB≥AD. Then we have that BC≥CD, so we must show BC3−CD3≤3(AB3−AD3). If AB=AD, we are done. Therefore, we will assume for the rest of the proof that AB>AD, BC>CD.
Then we would like to show that BC2+BC⋅CD+CD2≤3(AB2+AB⋅AD+AD2).
By the Law of Cosines, we have that BD2=BC2+k1(BC⋅CD)+CD2=AB2+k2(AB⋅AD)+AD2, where −1≤k1,k2≤1 (this is because 60∘≤∠BAD,∠BCD≤120∘). Therefore, 3(BC2−BC⋅CD+CD2)≤3(BC2+k1(BC⋅CD)+CD2)=3(AB2+k2(AB⋅AD)+AD2)≤3(AB2+AB⋅AD+AD2). Then we wish to show that 3(BC2−BC⋅CD+CD2)−(BC2+BC⋅CD+CD2)≥0→2(BC−CD)2≥0, and we are done. ■
