Given

sides of a triangle measure x cm, 12 cm, and 10 cm

In the solution sum of two sides taken is side with length x and 12

using the concept given

sum of two sides with x cm and 12 cm = x+12

third side is 10cm

according to concept

x+12 greater than 10

Thus, correct option is first one x+12 greater than 10.
