To work out the inside angles, do the number of sides (6) minus 2 (=4) multiplied by 180. *Quick mental calculation* (=720). This is all the interior angles added together, so quickly divide it by 6, which is the number of individual interior angles (=120).

Now, do you know you're angles i a straight line? Well, good. Simply take 120 away from 180 (=60) Andd there you have it. The exterior angles of a hexagon are each 60 degrees.

True, but here is a much simpler answer:

The exterior angles of ANY polygon add to 360 degrees. If the polygon is a regular (all angles equal) hexagon (six of them) then each exterior angle is 360/6 = 60 degrees.
