Some cones have a scalelike construction while others are more spikey. Have these shapes evolved for specific reasons?

it is just the way that they grow

I’m trying to cut out several shapes for sewing onto a costume, and I don’t want the shapes to look poorly put together in the end. Any suggestions to keep the quality of the item up?

What I often do is trace the shape I want in reverse onto the paper side of Bondaweb. I then fuse this to the fabric I want to apply to the item and then cut it out. I can then fuse this to the item and sew round it, leaving a nice clean edge like these:

I would like to find pictures of the shapes and the names of pasta. Does anyone know how to locate this? I keep finding individual ones, but I would like a complete set of this information. Thanks so much for your help.

I have two hermit crabs and i know that they are m & f, but there are brownish like egg shapes in there container. The container has been cleaned already so i was wandering what thses might be?

They are most likely but hermits have yet to be sucessfully reared in captivity, if you have not had them for very long she was most likely fertilized before you bought her, I have both males and mature females and I have never had a fertilized female produce viable eggs. There is no ocean for her to cast the eggs off into so they will fall out on your substrate and die with our breaking open, because they need ocean water in which to breathe and swim in for the next two months.
how long have you had them? If these little brownn things are moving around then you may have a mite problem, see if they are moving and are on the male too.
Commercial hermit crab food is not good for them if it contains a copper preservative. You should have at least three hermits, but you did not provide enought info for anyone to assume you are not taking care of them properly.

I am tryin to make a photo of me and my bf into a heart shape around our heads but dont know how u do shapes and that

E.M. Free Photo Collage developed with E.M. Multilayer Image Processing SDK is a free, fun and very easy-to-use tool to make impressive photo collages and digital scrapbooks with your photos. you can select a favorite photo as background, arrange multiple photos on the paper, then apply operations to them, such as rotating, resizing, adding frame, changing position, and changing overlay order, and merging them into image with mask templates. also you can choose a collage templates, drag-and-drop your photos to create unforgettable gifts and keepsakes.

I have a lot of recipes where you put a ball of dough onto the baking pan, and it spreads out in the heat. I am looking for a cookie recipe where I can roll out the dough and cut it into shapes with cookie cutters.

Any type of cookie is good.

sugar cookie
ginger bread cookie
shortbread

I’m creating a template in PowerPoint and have used shapes for the background. However, these shapes go over the edges of the slides, so I want to know how I can either crop or trim the shapes or slides. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Just to make sure – you are aware that they don’t NEED to be trimmed. The only issue is that they may cause the slide to come up not centered in work mode. They’ll be fine in show mode.

That being said – there is no way to "trim" a slide in PowerPoint.

But you can fix the shapes easily (in a couple ways). Based on your question, I’m assuming the shapes were created in PowerPoint with the shape tool. This applies to any version of PowerPoint…

Select the shape you drew, right click on it, select Save as Picture. You could save it as a .png, but I like .wmf since you can later go back and ungroup it and recolor it, etc (though any trimming, etc. will be lost). I would not recommend any of the other formats available. Name it and save it somewhere you can find it. Then go to Insert Picture, find the file, bring it in. Replace the shape with the picture and crop away!

You can ignore the following I just wanted to include it as an alternative…

Again, assuming the shapes are shapes created with PowerPoint, you can try editing the points. (Be sure to save a new version before you try this – it’s a little sloppy, but it should work.)

PPTXP/2003: If it’s a standard PowerPoint shape, you unfortunately cannot edit it. If you drew the shape yourself using the lines – curves, freeform or scribble, you can select the shape, go to the Draw in the lower left corner and select Edit Points. Then you can move pieces of the shape around. Right click to add/remove points or change the type of segment..

This is much more efficient in PPT2007 since you can edit even the standard shapes. If it’s a line shape like I mentioned above, just select it, go to the Format tab. Near the left you’ll see Edit Shape with a pulldown. Go to Edit Points. Same thing as above.

If it’s a standard shape, there’s one extra step. Select the shape, Go to the Edit Shape menu and select Convert To Freeform. Then go back into the same menu and Edit Points.

I am doing a projects about shapes but I don’t know why people use some shapes instead of others. Please help!

To put it real simple triangles and stronger than other shapes.

Just show me some shapes which are used in music, not some which nobody uses.

I’m not sure what you mean, exactly, but I hope these help. If you’re looking for a specific style of music, you should say so in the future. How a heavy metal soloist uses the diminished scale will differ from how a jazz guitarist uses it.

I’m doing a project for math on the geometrical shapes in architecture and construction and I need sites that can explain how certain shapes work better than others and things like that. For example, why is a suspension bridge made with parabolas? What purpose does the parabola serve? Basically anything like that.

Often shapes are chosen because they will optimally and evenly distribute a load – and a lot of calculus is needed. Cost of the design is taken into account, so the shapes are often simplified to make them cheaper.

In your example of the suspension bridge, the parabola is chosen so that force is directed downwards into the supporting pillars and not at an angle (you will always see suspension cables on both sides of the supporting pillars)

If you are considering a stone bridge, the arch shape under the bridge is chosen because in theory there are no tensile stresses in that shape. (Rock has a far higher compressive strength than tensile strength)

Shapes are often chosen to be aesthetically pleasing. Look up the "Golden Ratio" is particular relating to ancient architecture. Don’t underestimate the maths behind making something "look good".
