In the center of the square of side $1$ shown in the figure is an ant. At one point the ant starts walking until it touches the left side $(a)$, then continues walking until it reaches the bottom side $(b)$, and finally returns to the starting point. Show that, regardless of the path followed by the ant, the distance it travels is greater than the square root of $2$.
