The 3rd side has to be longer than the difference of the two numbers but no longer than the sum of two numbers so the third side is 10cm<x<34cm

Answer:

Any length between 10 cm and 34 cm.

Explanation:

12 cm + 22 cm = 34 cm

22 cm - 12 cm = 10 cm

The possible measures of the third side are any length between 10 cm and 34 cm.
