1. Take the log of all terms (allowed, because log keeps the sum monotonic):
log(sqrt(a)) + log(sqrt(b)) + log(sqrt(c))
2. pull out the sqrt from the log:
1/2 * log(a) + 1/2 * log(b) +1/2 * log(c)
3. factor out the 1/2:
1/2 * (log(a) + log(b) + log(c))
4. sum of logs can be rewritten as a log of product:
1/2 * log (a * b * c)
5. compute log of (a * b * c), and halve it. Ditto with log of (d * e * f). This should give a number which is proportional to the original sum of sqrt.
It seems you're employing a + b < c <=> log(a) + log(b) < log(c), which doesn't hold (consider 10, 10, and 20).
(the real rule is a * b < c <=> log(a) + log(b) < log(c)), because log(a) + log(b) <=> log(a * b)
