To find the surface area of a regular polygon inscribed in a cone, we need to follow the below steps:
l = sqrt(r^2 + h^2)
.P = n*s
.a = r*cos(pi/n)
.A = (1/2)*P*l + n*a*l
.Below is the Python code to implement the above steps:
main.py213 chars10 lines
Here, n
is the number of sides of the regular polygon, r
is the radius of the cone, and h
is the height of the cone.
We use the math
module in Python to perform mathematical calculations, such as square roots (sqrt
), trigonometric functions (sin
and cos
), and pi (pi
). The function surface_area_regular_polygon_inscribed_cone
takes in the parameters n
, r
, and h
, and returns the surface area of the regular polygon inscribed in the cone.
