Answer:

60 degrees.

Explanation:

The total measure of the exterior angles of all polygons is 360 degrees,

A regular hexagon has 6 equal exterior angles so the measure of each angle is 360 / 6 = 60 degrees.

Answer:

Measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon = 60°

Explanation:

We have sum of interior angles of a polygon with n sides = (n-2) x 180

Sum of exterior angles = n x 180 - (n-2) x 180 = 2 x 180 = 360 degree.

So whatever be the number of sides the sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360°.

Here we are asked to find the measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon.

We know sum of exterior angles = 360°

Number of exterior angles = 6

Measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon = 360/6 = 60°

Measure of each exterior angle for regular hexagon = 60°
