The correct answer is:


True.


Step-by-step explanation:


The entire length of a line segment is the sum of the pieces it is made up of.


If A is between B and C, this makes the segment BC made up of the pieces BA and AC.


Thus the entire segment, BC, is equal to the sum of its pieces, BA+AC.

Thankyou for asking this question. It will always be true.


BA added to AC will always be equal to BC if the point A is between B and C.


This is because no matter what the distance from A to B and A to C is until and unless its between them it will make the total distance to be equal B + C.


In case A does not lie between B and C then the answer might change.


I hope my answer helps you in some manner.
