Answer: 2, 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of two sides must be GREATER than the third side.
RS + ST > RT and RS + RT > ST and ST + RT > RS
2x + 4x > 12 2x + 12 > 4x 4x + 12 > 2x
6x > 12 12 > 2x 12 > -2x
x > 2 6 > x -6 < x
2 < x x < 6 invalid
Answer: 2 < x < 6
Graph: O----------------------O
2 6
Note: -6 is invalid because you cannot have a negative length.
