Let’s draw a straight line “a”. We put points A and B on it at a distance of 5 cm from each other. Let B be to the right of A.
Option 1. Put point C to the right of point A. Then BC = AB – AC = 5 – 3 = 2 cm BC <AB.
Option 2. Put point C to the left of point A. Then BC = AB + AC = 5 + 3 = 8 cm. BC> AB.
Answer. BC may be larger than AB.
