Answer:

120°.

Explanation:

The sum of all interior angles in a polygon with
n sides (
n\in \mathbb{Z},
n \ge 3) is equal to
(n - 2) \cdot 180^(\circ). (Credit: Mathsisfun.)

The polygon here has 6 sides.
n = 6. Its interior angles shall add up to
(6 - 2) * 180^(\circ) = 720^(\circ).

Consider the properties of a regular polygon. (Credit: Mathsisfun.)

  • All sides in a regular polygon are equal in length.
  • All angles in a regular polygon are also equal.

There are six interior angles in a polygon with 6 sides. All six of them are equal. Thus, each of the six interior angle will be


\displaystyle (1)/(6)* 720^(\circ) = 120^(\circ).
