Hat Renaissance
Hat Renaissance
Word problem plz help?
As a customer you are hired to construct renaissance costumes for a college play. You wish to build a type of cone hat for the noblewomen. YOu want to know how much material yuo will need for each hat. You are going to start with large circles and cut a 12″ radius, which will determine the hat’s height. THen you will overlap the cut ends to make a cone. THe area of a circle is determined by the formula A= pi r^2 HOW MUCH MATERIAL WILL YOU NEED TO BUILD ONE HAT?
Depends on the size of the hat and if you take into consideration the material efectivly on the hat and the wasted one.
For example.
If you’re going to make a hat that fits a head with a cirmcumference of 24 in (like mine), you would use only 1/3 of the 12′ radiuos circle.
The material in this 1/3 of circle alone is: 150.79 sq in.
This is the material efectivly contained in one hat.
You have to take into consideration that you would have to cut out a circle out of a square, this gives you some wasted material in the corners of the square. The total area of the square is 576 sq in. If you make 3 hats out this square, you have that you would use 192 sq. in of material for each one of the hats.
But if you only need one, the 384 sq in left, would go to waste, so you would have to say that you needed the whole 576 sq.in to make one hat.
I hope I was clear and this was useful,

Yuck! A hedgehog …
Not the most glamorous of all animals compared with, of course. How then turned the humble hedgehog in mammalian mentor for us all?
After all (and no offense to all you hedgehogs out there), which appears to be accidental cross nature between an armadillo and a porcupine – slow, methodical, prickly and not all that bright.
Fox, on the other hand, is … well … Foxy! A quick predator witty, elegant, fast and agile, the fox appears to have the attributes that can easily imagine we share? (And if we do not, it is intended.)
Why compare a hedgehog to a fox anyway? It all started with ancient lines of poetry that were found in a fragment of the verses of the Greek poet Archilochus which reads:
"The fox knows many things but the hedgehog knows one big thing."
One of the things! And that's a good thing?
What about Renaissance men like Leonardo Da Vinci? He is one of the exceptions to a rule very disconcerting according to Jim Collins, author of the classic bestseller "Good to Great". He took the hedgehog in the former comparison vs Fox in his book. All top level CEOs he says are very hedgehog-ish.
He tells this story:
"Day after day, Fox circles around the hedgehog's cave, awaiting the perfect time to jump … (The hedgehog emerging) swings along, going about his day easier, to find food and care for your home. "
While minding their own business, focusing on vittles, the hedgehog wanders right into the path of the fox. Detection of danger, is rolled into a perfect little ball, becoming "… a sphere of sharp spikes, pointing outward in all directions. The fox, bounding toward his prey, sees the hedgehog defense and calls the attack … Every day, some version This battle between the hedgehog and the fox takes place, despite the greater cunning of the fox, the hedgehog always wins. "
The hedgehog always wins!
Think in this: Are you a hedgehog or a fox?
His response is the key whether it will succeed in business or your life!
Nobody wants to be a hedgehog. Admit it. How boring is that?
He does not see much of the world. He's too focused for that. He did not learn all the latest hunting tools and tricks, because their world view was reduced to only what you need.
In "Good to Great", an excellent book, by the way, Collins says the hedgehog "reduces all challenges and dilemmas to simple – indeed almost simplistic – hedgehog ideas. "
"For a hedgehog, anything that is not somehow relate to the hedgehog idea has no relevance. "
Have you ever met anyone so focused that it could only pursue a single goal? Never known anyone so focused on that goal that nothing else mattered?
Thinking About the Olympic athletes. Even thought the Winter Olympics may be a distant event to us, there is a 10-year-old somewhere who gets up at 3:30 every morning to practice figure skating for Compulsories four hours before school. The Winter Olympics is all I think.
AND NOTHING MORE questions!
Foxes on the other hand, "pursue many ends at the same time and see the world in all its complexity. These are "scattered or diffused, moving on many levels." "
Multitask with too many balls in the air while now, we're asked to do more and be more. Our bosses want us to be busy, working hard, doing everything possible.
Yet the fox " pursued for many at the same time, "never wins!
And the guy who gets the promotion or business is very successful is the least focused on the tasks and not very well.
That was one of Collins' points – instead of demanding too much from employees and managers, we must demand a big thing.
I think this does not apply to you? Want to bet? You are an employee or an executive – or both – if you are self-employed. And just because you can wear many hats do not get you off the hook either. Focusing on the hedgehog ideas even when you're doing the hard work is the key to its success.
Okay, so it's good to be a hedgehog.
How do we become one if a fox by nature?
It's simple. You act as if …
What would the hedgehog do? There focus on the ideas of hedgehog. Do not know what your ideas are hedgehog? Sure. You will not only focuses on them. This will help you:
1) What six things that are vital to the success of your business this year?
2) reduce to three-two is better
3) Make 'em BIG
4) Focus on which only
5) Nothing else matters
Do this part of your soul. Delete everything that is not helping you focus on your goals.
Keep working at it and someday you'll be a hedgehog too.
