GCSE Maths Practice: triangles-and-quadrilaterals

Question 7 of 10

This question calculates an interior angle of a regular hexagon.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Find the size of each interior angle in a regular hexagon.}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Apply formula ((n-2)*180)/n to find interior angles.

To calculate the interior angle of a regular hexagon, use the formula ((n-2)*180)/n, where n = number of sides. For a hexagon (n=6): ((6-2)*180)/6 = 120°. Understanding interior angles of polygons is crucial for solving geometry problems, constructing diagrams, and applying angle rules. Regular hexagons appear in tiling, engineering, and design layouts. Practice calculating interior angles for different polygons to reinforce understanding. This concept is fundamental for GCSE geometry, proofs, and real-life applications. Drawing and labeling diagrams enhances spatial reasoning and accuracy. Mastery of interior angles ensures confidence in both calculations and visual identification of polygon properties.
