Explanation:

X = third side

due to the triangle side length rule: sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side

so

4 + 6 > x so x <10

x + 4 > 6 so x > 2

x + 6 > 4 and any value of x will work here

so

2 < x < 10 <=====use this to answer your question as you didn't list the choices in your post
