60°, 120° and 180° are the angles at which it will map onto itself.

Answer:

60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, 300° and 360°

Explanation:

We know that 360° is a full rotation and a regular hexagon has 6 angles. So, they will map onto itself every 60°.


(360)/(6)=60 degrees.

Hence, we will take the multiples of 60 in the range:


0\leq x\leq 360 degrees

So, we get the following angles:

60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, 300° and 360°.
