The measure of each exterior
Answer to Problem 36PPS
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular hexagon is 60.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given polygon is a hexagon.
Calculation:
The sum of the measures of exterior angles of a convex polygon, one angle at each vertex is 360.
Also, in a regular hexagon, there are 6 congruent interior angles.
The exterior angles of a hexagon are also congruent as angles supplementary to congruent angles are also congruent.
Suppose, the measure of each exterior angle be n.
Therefore,
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular hexagon is 60.
