I cannot figure out how to create a new .cs file here to make the sub class of the Polygon class.

I am trying to make the sub class called Square with the base class named Polygon. Polygon is already populated, however, I cannot find any place to make a new .cs file to create the sub class.

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

        public Polygon(int numSides)
        {
            numSides = 4;
            NumSides = numSides;
        }
    }
}

In actual practice, you might choose to place the classes in separate files, but it would also be a good strategy to group all the "Polygon" sub-classes together in the same file as the parent class.

For the challenge, you can create the new class in the same file, and within the same namespace.
