What is the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?

  1. 360

  2. 720

  3. 480

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: 720

A hexagon has six sides, and the sum of the interior angles of any polygon is given by the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is (6-2) * 180 = 4 * 180 = 720 degrees. Option A is incorrect because it is the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral (4 sides). Option C is incorrect because it is the sum of the exterior angles of a hexagon. Option D is incorrect because, as shown above, the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is 720 degrees, which is one of the options provided.
