Since there are six sides to a regular hexagon and every side is equal in measure to find the measure of each side you would divide 720 by 6

120 degrees

To properly explain why you divide 720 by 6:

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Since you can draw 4 triangles in a hexagon, the total of the angles is 4 * 180, or 720. Divide that by the number of sides in a hexagon and you get the interior angle (120 degrees).
