Name the polygon whose interior angles each measure 120 degrees
-------------
The corresponding exterior angle is the supplement of 120 or 60 degrees.
------------------
So each exterior angle is 60 degrees.
------------------
The sum of all the exterior angles for any convex polygon is 360 degrees.
---------------------
# of exterior angles = 360/60 = 60
-----------------------
Therefore the # of sides is 6
===============================
The polygon is a hexagon
