Answer:

this question is weirdly worded. i think you meant to type "three angles of a hexagon....." I'll do my best.

Explanation:

sum of angles in a polygon: (n-2) 180° where n=#of sides of the polygon

(6-2) 180°

(4) 180°

720°

1a + 1a + 1a + 0.5a + 0.5a + 0.5a = 720°

4.5a = 720°

a = 720°/4.5

a = 160

0.5a = 80

Check

3(160) + 3(80)

480 + 240 = 720
