Angles of a Hexagon

A regular hexagon has 6 equal interior angles of 120° each, and 6 exterior angles of 60° each.

Interior Angles

A regular hexagon has 6 interior angles that are all the same size. Each one measures exactly 120°.

Hexagon Interior and Exterior Angles

Exterior Angles

Each exterior angle measures 60°. The 6 exterior angles add up to 360° in total.

Angles at Each Vertex

At each vertex, the interior angle and the exterior angle always add up to 180°. For the hexagon: 120° + 60° = 180°.

Formula for the Sum of Interior Angles

The formula for the sum of interior angles of any polygon is (n − 2) × 180°, where n is the number of sides. For the hexagon:

(6 − 2) × 180° = 4 × 180° = 720°
