Consider the image given below :

                                                      

In \DeltaOAB, we have  :

                                                       OB +AB > OA

or                                                      OB > \left | OA - AB \right |

or                                                   \left | a-b \right |\ > \left | | a\right |-\left | b \right ||                               ...................................................(i)

Also, if the vectors are in a straight line then  :

                                                       \left | a-b \right |\ = \left | | a\right |-\left | b \right ||                            .........................................................(ii)

From (i) and (ii),  we can conclude :

                                                       \left | a-b \right |\geq \left | | a\right |-\left | b \right ||
