The third side of any triangle would be bigger than positive difference of two sides.

The third side will also be less than the sum.

So if we have 4 and 10.

The third side, x

x > (10 - 4)
x > 6

x < (10 + 4)
x < 14

Third side 6 < x < 14.

The third side is any number that is between 6 and 14.

Note: 6 and 14 are not included.
