I dont know how to say this question. Like a tringles has 180 degrees. So how many does a hexagon have?

The answer is 720.
The formula is:
n = number of sides
(n - 2) * 180

The hexagon has external angles of 360/6 = 60 The complement of each angle is 120 So the internal angles total 6 x 120 = 720 This formula is good for all multi-sided figures ~~ think of a square ~~ 270 degrees external 90 degrees internal Next consider a pentagon 360/5 = 72 degrees external & 128degrees internal An octagon 360/8 = 45 degrees external & 135 degrees internal etc

For Hexagon. 360 degrees divided by 6 sides = 60 degrees Angle at apex ... therefore internal angle of Hexagon = 120 degrees.

if there are n sides total number of degrees = (n-2) *180.
this can be shown as below.
take any point inside and connect all the vertices. Then we have n triangles. So tolal degrees is n*180. But the trianges contribute to 360 degrees at the vertex.
so total = (n-2) *180
for a hexagon n= 6
so total = (6-2) *180 or 720

People gave the correct answer to your question above, it is
(n-2)x 180
for any n-gon. Which yields 720 degrees for a hexagon. Let me tell you the correct question to ask though. It is "What is the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?"

Interior angles measure 120
120 * 6 = 720
ANS : 720°

i only know that square has 360 degrees, a pentagon has (360+180) degrees, and hexagon has (360+180+180) degrees.
For me, I just add 180 to each additional side (but I dont know if it works for more complex object or not)

Look at it this way.
A hexagon has six sides, likewise six angles. If you extend the sides you get six equilateral triangles arranged in a circle. Each of those angles (because it's equilateral) will be 60 degrees. That's the angle OUTSIDE the hexagon. Therefore the angle INSIDE will be the complement of that angle. Take that number and multiply by six.
I've given you a big hint, now go finish your homework. (-:

if n = number of sides
then internal angle=
(n - 2) * 180
here n = 6
ans =(6-2)x180=720

720
number of sides times 120= degrees
