find the volume of a regular polygon circumscribed around a cylinder in python

Here's one way you could find the volume of a regular polygon circumscribed around a cylinder in Python:

main.py
import math

def cylinder_circumradius_volume(n, r, h):
    # n is the number of sides of the regular polygon
    # r is the radius of the cylinder
    # h is the height of the cylinder
    
    # find the length of one side of the polygon
    s = 2 * r * math.sin(math.pi/n)
    
    # find the apothem of the polygon
    a = r * math.cos(math.pi/n)
    
    # find the perimeter of the polygon
    p = n * s
    
    # find the area of the base of the cylinder
    base_area = math.pi * r ** 2
    
    # find the area of the lateral surface of the cylinder
    lateral_area = p * h
    
    # find the total surface area of the cylinder
    total_area = lateral_area + 2 * base_area
    
    # find the volume of the cylinder
    volume = base_area * h
    
    # add the volume of the circumscribed polygon
    volume += (total_area * a) / 2
    
    return volume

This function takes in three arguments - n (the number of sides of the regular polygon), r (the radius of the cylinder), and h (the height of the cylinder) - and calculates the volume of the cylinder with the circumscribed polygon.

It finds the length of one side of the polygon using the formula s = 2 * r * sin(pi/n), the apothem using the formula a = r * cos(pi/n), and the perimeter using p = n * s. It then calculates the area of the base and lateral surface of the cylinder, adds them together and then uses the apothem and total surface area to find the volume of the circumscribed polygon, which is added to the cylinder volume to give the final answer.
