How do I create a class in the challenge quizzes?

I'm in the C# objects course and the challenge wants me to create a new Polygon named Square that inherits from the Polygon class. I do not see an option to create a new file ect.. so I edited what they gave me. The error says did I delete the polygon class?

Polygon.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Square : Polygon
    {
        public readonly int NumSides;
        public readonly int SideLength; 

        public Square(int numSides) : base(int numSides)
        {
            SideLength = sideLenth;
        }
    }
}

You need to keep all the original code.

Add your new class to the same file, sharing the same namespace.

The Square class won't need it's own NumSides, it inherits that. Also remember the challenge said you should pass the value 4 to the base constructor.
