I need to prove that a Quadrilateral with the length of the sides being a,b,c and d, with an area of S, that 4S is less than or egual to (a+b)(c+d), somehow using twice the area of a triangle is absin Theta where theta is the angle between the sides of lengths a,b and sin theta is less than or egual to 1,with equality if theta is a right angle.

The answer must have S in it! ie: S
