To find the surface area of a regular polygon circumscribed around a pyramid, we first need to find the slant height and apothem of the pyramid. Then we can use the formula for the surface area of a regular pyramid:
Surface area = 1/2 * Perimeter * slant height + Base area
Here's the C# code to calculate the surface area of a regular polygon circumscribed around a pyramid:
main.cs790 chars23 lines
Note that we use Math.Tan()
and Math.PI
to calculate the apothem and base area of the polygon, and we use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the slant height.
