What is the size of the exterior angle of a regular hexagon?

Solution

Determine the size of the exterior angle of a regular hexagon.

Apply the formula for finding the measure of the interior angle of a hexagon.

Since, for the hexagon we have n=6.

d=180n-2nd=1806-22d=180×42d=120

So, the value of interior angle is 120°.

Now, subtract the obtained value from 180° to get the value of exterior angles.

So, the exterior angle of a regular hexagon will be:

180°-120°=60°

Hence, the required solution is 60°.
