Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle
A crossword clue is a hint or a piece of information given to help solve a crossword puzzle. In today's puzzle, the clue is "A ____ triangle has unequal sides and angles". The answer for this clue is "SCALENE".
The word "triangle" in the clue gives us a hint that the answer is related to a shape with three sides. It specifies that the triangle in question has "unequal sides and angles". This information helps us narrow down the possible answers.
1. The first type of triangle is an "equilateral triangle" where all sides and angles are equal. However, this contradicts the clue as it mentions "unequal sides and angles".
2. The second type of triangle is an "isosceles triangle" where two sides are equal in length. However, this also contradicts the clue because it mentions "unequal sides" which does not apply to an isosceles triangle.
3. The third type of triangle is a "scalene triangle". In a scalene triangle, all three sides are of different lengths, and all three angles are different. This matches the clue perfectly, making "SCALENE" the correct answer.
Therefore, based on the clue provided, "SCALENE" is the only answer that accurately describes a triangle with unequal sides and angles. Crossword enthusiasts can use this information to fill in the corresponding boxes in the puzzle and progress towards completing it.
