geometry - moving pipe around corner

I worked at some problem with moving pipe around a corner and i was trying to fing the maximum length of pipe for corner with corridor lengths 1. It is pretty obvious that maximum length is 2, since that is the length of pipe when it's in position, when the angles where it touches the outer walls are the same - 45 degree.




It's obvious that if pipe can get through this point, it can move around the corner. But i don't know how to exactly mathematically prove it.
