The formula for the size of the angles in a polygon is (n-2)180/n
6-2 = 4 * 180/ 6 = 120 degrees.

a reqular polygon has 6 sides. Find the measure of each exterior angle

The sum of the exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360%5Eo

Since this is a regular polygon with 6 congruent sides, it obviously has 6 congruent angles also. Therefore, each exterior angle = 360%2F6 = highlight_green%2860%5Eo%29.
