Question

im having some trouble with this

Requirements:
Write a Python script that prompts the user for the length of a side of a polygon and prints a
table of areas of several polygons. Sample output is shown below.
Additional requirements:
• Your program should use functions to organize the code. Implement these functions:
- main The main function should call the function get_side_length and
then send side_length to report.
- get_side_length This function should prompt the user ("Input the
length of a side: ") and return side_length to main as an int.
- report This function should print a heading line ("side length...number
of sides...area") and use a loop to print a table of values as shown in the
sample output below. The report function should call polygon_area to
calculate the areas needed for the table. The function report will have to call
polygon_area once for each area that it needs to print.
- polygon_area This function takes num_sides and side_length as
parameters and returns the area of such a polygon. The area of such a polygon is
computed by this formula:
area = (num_sides * side_length * side_length) \
/ (4 * math.tan(math.pi / num_sides))

Skeleton code:
#This program computes
#the area of polygons
import math
def main ():
# Your code goes here
def report( side_length ) :
# Your code goes here
def polygon_area( num_sides, side_length):
# Your code goes here
def get_side_length():
# Your code goes here
#start the program
main ()

Example output:
This program will show the areas
of several different polygons that
have sides of a certain length.
