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 linesThis 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.
