The degree measure of interior angle of a regular hexagon is a. The degree
measure of an exterior angle of a regular octagon is b. what is the ratio of a to b?
-----
A hexagon has 6 sides and also 6 exterior angles.
---
Fact: The sum of the exterior angles is 360.
---
Each of your exterior angles is 360/6 = 60 degrees.
---
The corresponding interior angle is 180-60 = 120 degrees.
---
Ratio of interior to exterior = 120/60 = 2
