The correct Answer is:
To find the measure of each angle in a regular hexagon, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the number of sides (n)**: A hexagon has 6 sides. Therefore, \( n = 6 \). 2. **Use the formula for the sum of interior angles**: The formula to find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is: \[ \text{Sum of interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ \] Substituting \( n = 6 \): \[ \text{Sum of interior angles} = (6 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 4 \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ \] 3. **Calculate each interior angle**: Since a regular hexagon has all angles equal, we divide the total sum of the angles by the number of angles (which is equal to the number of sides): \[ \text{Each angle} = \frac{\text{Sum of interior angles}}{n} = \frac{720^\circ}{6} = 120^\circ \] 4. **Conclusion**: Each angle of a regular hexagon is \( 120^\circ \). ### Final Answer: Each angle of a regular hexagon is **120 degrees**. ---
