The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360 degrees. In a regular polygon they're all equal, so 360/60=6, a regular hexagon.

Answer: 6

Answer:

Six is the number of sides that the polygon has.

Explanation:

Divide 360 by the amount of the exterior angle to also find the number of sides of the polygon. For example, if the measurement of the exterior angle is 60 degrees, then dividing 360 by 60 yields 6.
