The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Using this theorem, we can determine which option could be the third side of a triangle if the first two sides measure 4 and 6.

Option 1: 11
4 + 6 = 10 < 11
This option does not satisfy the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Option 2: 9
4 + 6 = 10 > 9
This option satisfies the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Option 3: 1
4 + 6 = 10 > 1
This option satisfies the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Option 4: 2
4 + 6 = 10 = 2
This option does not satisfy the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Therefore, the third side of the triangle could be either 9 or 1.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.

The correct answer is that the third side of the triangle could be 1.

When the first two sides measure 4 and 6, the sum of these two sides is 10, which is greater than the third side of 1.

Therefore, 1 satisfies the Triangle Inequality Theorem and could be the third side of the triangle.

Sure! Here's an example using the Triangle Inequality Theorem:

Let's say we have a triangle with side lengths of 3, 4, and 5.

Using the Triangle Inequality Theorem, we can determine if this could be a valid triangle:

- In order to be a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
- For the sides of 3, 4, and 5:
- 3 + 4 > 5 (3 + 4 = 7 which is greater than 5)
- 4 + 5 > 3 (4 + 5 = 9 which is greater than 3)
- 3 + 5 > 4 (3 + 5 = 8 which is greater than 4)

Since all three combinations satisfy the Triangle Inequality Theorem, a triangle with side lengths of 3, 4, and 5 is valid.

My apologies for not providing a clear and accurate example earlier. Let's try again using the given sides of 4 and 6.

Given the two sides are 4 and 6, we are looking for a valid third side using the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

- For a triangle to be valid, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

Let's consider the possible third side options:

1. Option: 1
- 4 + 6 > 1
- 10 > 1
- 1 satisfies the Triangle Inequality Theorem and could be a valid third side of the triangle.

Thus, when the first two sides measure 4 and 6, the third side of length 1 is valid according to the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
