Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that a regular polygon has all sides and all interior angles equal.
Use the formula for the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon with n sides: \(\text{Interior Angle} = \frac{(n-2) \times 180^\circ}{n}\).
Substitute \(n = 6\) (since the polygon has 6 sides) into the formula: \(\text{Interior Angle} = \frac{(6-2) \times 180^\circ}{6}\).
Simplify the expression step-by-step: calculate \((6-2) = 4\), then multiply \$4 \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ\(, and finally divide \)720^\circ\( by \)6$.
The result gives the measure of each interior angle of the regular hexagon.
