To find the volume of a regular polygon inscribed in a cone in Python, we will need to use some geometry and math calculations.
Let's assume that the regular polygon that is inscribed in the cone has n sides. To find the volume, we will need to find the area of the base of the polygon and the height of the cone.
First, let's find the height of the cone. We can use the Pythagorean theorem and the apothem (the distance from the center of the polygon to the middle of one of its sides) to find the height:
main.py303 chars10 lines
Next, let's find the area of the base of the polygon. We can use the formula for the area of a regular polygon:
main.py139 chars5 lines
Now that we have the height and the area of the base, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:
main.py56 chars2 lines
And that's it! The cone_volume
variable now contains the volume of the regular polygon inscribed in the cone.
