let us draw the ext. of $CO$, which intersects $AB$ at $D$
now, as we know summation of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third,
in $\triangle ACD$, $AC+AD>CD$
in $\triangle BOD$, $BD+OD>BO$
summing these two we can say,
\[AC+AD+BD+OD>CD+BO\]
\[\Rightarrow AC+AB+OD>BO+CO+OD\]
\[\Rightarrow AC+AB>BO+CO\]
