Question

In the below figure, ABCDEF is a regular hexagon, and its center is point O. Find the value of x?

• A. 80°
• B. 60°
• C. 40°
• D. 30°

Answer 1

The correct option is B

60°

Because this hexagon is regular, we can find the degree measure of each of its interior angles.

A hexagon can be split into 6 triangles which are equilateral triangles.

So, total angle formed at point O is 360${}^{\circ }$

$\angle$COB = 60${}^{\circ }$

Since $\Delta$COB is an equilateral triangle every angle has to be 60${}^{\circ }$

So, angle x = 60${}^{\circ }$.
