Geometry and Trigonometry practice question
Each interior angle of a regular hexagon measures how many degrees?
Answer: 120
The interior angles of a hexagon add to (6 − 2) × 180 = 720°. In a REGULAR hexagon all six are equal: 720 / 6 = 120°.
Common wrong answers
- If you answered 60
- 60 is each EXTERIOR angle (360 / 6). The interior angle is 180 − 60 = 120.
- If you answered 108
- 108 is each interior angle of a regular PENTAGON (540 / 5). A hexagon's is 120.
- If you answered 720
- 720 is the SUM of all six interior angles. Divide by 6 for one angle.
