find the volume of a regular polygon inscribed in a pyramid in csharp

Here's a code snippet that demonstrates how to find the volume of a regular polygon inscribed in a pyramid in C#:

main.cs
using System;

namespace PyramidVolume
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int numSides = 4; // number of sides of the regular polygon
            double sideLength = 5; // length of each side of the regular polygon
            double height = 10; // height of the pyramid

            double apothem = sideLength / (2 * Math.Tan(Math.PI / numSides)); // apothem of the regular polygon
            double baseArea = 0.25 * numSides * sideLength * sideLength / Math.Tan(Math.PI / numSides); // area of the regular polygon's base
            double volume = baseArea * height / 3; // volume of the pyramid

            Console.WriteLine("Volume of the pyramid = " + volume);
        }
    }
}

In this code, we first define the number of sides of the regular polygon, the length of each side of the polygon, and the height of the pyramid. We then use the formula to find the apothem and the area of the regular polygon's base, and finally use the formula for the volume of a pyramid (area of base times height divided by 3) to find the volume of the pyramid. The output will be the volume of the pyramid, printed to the console.
