find the measure of one interior angle of a regular hexagon?
----------------------------
The sum of the 6 EXTERIOR angles = 360
Each exterior angle = 360/6 = 60 degrees
----------
Each interior angle is the supplement of a 60 degree exterior angle.
Therefore, each interior angle = 180-60 = 120 degrees
======================

remember the hexagon is composed of 4 triangles so sum of the interior angles are 180(4)=720 since there are 6 angles divide 720/6=120 degrees for each interior angle of a REGULAR hexagon
