Given: There is a triangle ABC.
To Prove: AB + AC> BC.
Construction: Extend BA to point D, so DA = CA. Join CD
=>Angle ADC = ACD
=>Angle BCD> ACD, so angle BCD> ADC (or BDC)
=>So in triangle DBC, line DB (or DA + AB)> BC
But line DA = AC, so lines AC + AB> BC.

step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider a ∆ABC,
NOW,
Required To Prove : AB + AC> BC.
Foe this,
we shall do,
Construction : Extend BA to point D,
so that,
DA = CA
Now,
CD is joined.
Now,
=>Angle 1 = Angle 2
°.° angles opposite to equal sides are equal.
Clearly,
=>Angle BCD >Angle ACD
therefore,
Angle BCD > Angle ADC
( °.° Angle ACD = Angle ADC )
So,
in ∆DBC,
DB > BC
=> BA + AD > BC
( °.° DB = BA + AD )
But,
DA = AC
So,
AC + AB> BC.
Hence,
Proved...
