To find the surface area of a regular polygon inscribed in a cylinder, we need to first calculate the perimeter and apothem of the polygon. Then, we can use the following formula to find the surface area:
surface area = perimeter * height + 2 * area of polygon
where height
is the height of the cylinder.
Here is the code to calculate the surface area of a regular polygon inscribed in a cylinder:
