The possible values of the the length of one side of a triangle lie in a range between the sum and the difference of the other two.
In this case, that would be 0 < xy < 12
In this case, that would be 0 < xy < 12

The length of two sides of the triangle must add up to a length longer than the third side. To determind this you add the two sides that you know, and the 3rd side is less than that (since 6+6 = 12, the third side must be LESS than 12) and you need to subtract those same two sides to find out the possible length again (since 6 - 6 = 0 the 3rd side must be greater than zero)
