This is saying that the sum of the diagonals is larger than the sum of two of the connecting sides. What are you at liberty to use in proving this? Please show what you've tried and where you are stuck.
Do you know what the definition of a parallelogram is? Geometrically, what properties does it have? Do you know the triangle inequality?
Draw a parallelogram, label the vertices as given. Look at the diagonals, and look at the sides. Try to find a way to get the inequality.
For example, if the parallelogram happened to be a square of all side length 1, then AB + AD = \(\displaystyle 2\). AC + BD = \(\displaystyle 2\sqrt{2}\).
Try it when it is a rectangle of side lengths 1,2,1,2.
If you have "no idea", then why were you given the problem?
