Answer:

ab<6 units

Explanation:

One of the basic property of any triangle is that the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.

Here we are given a triangle abc, in whicn bc=4

ac= 8-ab

If have to make some conclusion about ab.

As per the property discussed above

ab<ac+bc

ab<8-ab+4

2ab<12

ab<6

Hence the length of ab must be less than 6 units
