Answer:

6cm

Explanation:

Given, the length of two sides of a triangle are 6 cm and 10 cm.

We have to find the length of the third side.

We know that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.

Sum of two sides = 6 + 10

= 16 cm

We know that the third side must be greater than the difference between two sides and less than the sum of two sides.

Difference of two sides = 10 - 6

= 4 cm

So, the third side must be greater than 4 cm and less than 16 cm.

Therefore, the third side is 6 cm.
