Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be real numbers. Prove that \begin{align*}&\quad\,\,\sqrt{2(a^2+b^2)}+\sqrt{2(b^2+c^2)}+\sqrt{2(c^2+a^2)}\\&\ge \sqrt{3[(a+b)^2+(b+c)^2+(c+a)^2]}.\end{align*}

I did something like squaring both sides but I used $4\sqrt{(a^2+b^2)(a^2+c^2)}\ge(a+b)(a+c)$ (By AM-GM). I think that's also correct

OOPS: sorry. Your solution is incorrect, isn't it (or maybe I am overlooking something...)
