In a circle, when you have two segments emanating from the same point outside a chord, the relationship between the lengths of these segments can be determined by the triangle inequality theorem.
In your scenario, you have points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) on the circumference of circle \( A \). By considering \( AB \), \( AC \), and \( BC \) as the lengths of the segments, we apply the triangle inequality, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
For triangle \( ABC \), the inequality states that:
\[ AB + AC > BC \]
Thus, the correct inequality is:
\[ AB + AC > BC \]
So the correct answer is \( > \).
