Given a regular hexagon, calculate each interior angle of the hexagon.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The exterior angles of any polygon add up to 360∘360^\circ, so each exterior angle of a regular hexagon is 360∘÷6=60∘360^\circ \div 6 = 60^\circ.
  2. An interior angle and its exterior angle lie on a straight line, so the interior angle is 180∘−60∘=120∘180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ, option C.
