To find the surface area of a regular polygon inscribed in a pyramid, we need to find the area of each triangular face and add them up. Here's the ruby code to do it:
main.rb740 chars21 lines
This will output:
main.rb39 chars3 lines
Where num_sides
is the number of sides of the regular polygon, side_length
is the length of each side, and height
is the height of the pyramid. The triangle_area
function calculates the area of a triangle using Heron's formula, and the polygon_surface_area
function uses it to find the area of each triangular face of the pyramid and adds it up with the area of the base.
