According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, in a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
For a triangle with sides measuring 4 and 6:
4 + 6 > x
10 > x
Therefore, x could be 11 (Option 2) because 10 is less than 11, satisfying the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
