diagonals bisect each other in a parallelogram,so BE=AC being opposite sides

Draw AE perpendicular to BC.
Since angle AED = 90,
Therefore, in triangle ADE
angle ADE < 90 and angle ADB > 90
Thus, triangle ABD is obtuse angled triangle and triangle ADC is acute angled triangle.
Triangle ABD is obtuse angled at D and AE is perpendicular to BD produced,
Therefore,
AE = 2AD
AB+BE>2AD
