Answer:

y = 60

Explanation:

The exterior angles of a regular polygon add up to 360. Try drawing a square which has exterior angles = 90 degrees or an equilateral triangle which has an exterior angle of 120.

Formula is

Exterior angle = 360 / number of sides

number of sides = 6

Exterior angle = 360/6 = 60

x is the supplement of y

x + y = 180

x + 60 = 180 Subtract 60 from both sides

x = 180 - 60

x = 120
