#How do you prove it?

I would use
$$\sqrt{\cos 70^{\circ}}>\sqrt{\cos 75^{\circ}}$$
and
$$\sqrt{\sin 70^{\circ}}>\sqrt{\sin 60^{\circ}}$$
If
$$\sqrt{\cos 75^{\circ}}+\sqrt{\sin 60^{\circ}}>1$$
then
$$\sqrt{\cos 70^{\circ}}+\sqrt{\sin 70^{\circ}}>1$$
by transitivity. Lastly $75^{\circ}=45^{\circ}+30^{\circ}$

I would just say that :
- (sinφ)² + (cosφ)² = 1
- When you square a number that's on interval (0;1), you make it smaller, so √sinφ will be bigger than sinφ.
Thats all you need to prove that.
So this mathematical equation is true for any angle φ:
√sinφ + √cosφ > 1
This is another proof⬆️
