Answer
According to the properties of polygons, if a polygon has n sides, then the sum of its interior angles is (2n - 4) x 90°.
A hexagon have 6 sides.
So, the sum of its interior angles is:
(2 x 6 - 4) x 90°
= (12 - 4) x 90°
= 8 x 90°
= 720°
It is given that two angles of the hexagon are 120° and 160°, and the remaining four angles are equal.
Let each of the equal angles be x°.
So,
120° + 160° + x° + x° + x° + x° = 720°
⇒ 280° + 4x° = 720°
⇒ 4x° = 720° - 280°
⇒ 4x° = 440°
⇒ x° =
⇒ x° = 110°
Hence, the measure of each of the four equal angles in the hexagon is 110°.
