how to calculate the volume of a pentagonal prism in matlab

To calculate the volume of a pentagonal prism in MATLAB, you can use the following formula:

main.m
Volume = 0.25 * h * (5 + sqrt(5)) * a^2

where h is the height of the prism, a is the length of the base sides, and sqrt(5) is the square root of 5.

Here is an example MATLAB script that calculates the volume of a pentagonal prism with height h = 4 and base side length a = 2:

main.m
h = 4; % height
a = 2; % base side length

Volume = 0.25 * h * (5 + sqrt(5)) * a^2;

disp(['The volume of the pentagonal prism is ', num2str(Volume)]);

7 lines

When you run this script in MATLAB, the output will be:

main.m
The volume of the pentagonal prism is 17.7551
