============================
Exterior angles = 360/6 = 60 degs
Interior angles = 180 - Ext = 120 degs

The sum S of the interior angles of a n-sided polygon is Since it's a hexagon, n=6, so Since the hexagon is regular, all the interior angles are congruent (I say "equal", since I'm from the old school). So we divide by 6 to get the answer. Answer: which is Edwin
