Answer: 120 degrees

==============================================

Work Shown:

n = number of sides = 6

i = measure of interior angle

i = 180(n-2)/n

i = 180(6-2)/6

i = 180(4)/6

i = 720/6

i = 120

Each interior angle of this regular hexagon is 120 degrees.

-----------------

Alternative Approach:

E = exterior angle

E = 360/n

E = 360/6

E = 60

Each exterior angle of this regular hexagon is 60 degrees

i+E = 180

i = 180-E

i = 180-60

i = 120

We get the same answer.
