how to calculate the volume of a pentagonal pyramid in matlab

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

V = (1/3) * h * A

where h is the height of the pyramid and A is the area of the base. For a pentagonal pyramid, the formula for the area of the base is:

A = (5/4) * s^2 * cot(pi/5)

where s is the side length of the pentagon.

Here's the MATLAB code to calculate the volume of a pentagonal pyramid:

main.m
% define the variables
s = 6; % side length of pentagon
h = 10; % height of pyramid

% calculate the area of the base
A = (5/4) * s^2 * cot(pi/5);

% calculate the volume
V = (1/3) * h * A;

% display the result
fprintf('The volume of the pentagonal pyramid is %.2f\n', V);

In this example, we assume that the side length of the pentagon is 6 units and the height of the pyramid is 10 units. You can modify these values to calculate the volume of a pentagonal pyramid with different dimensions.
