- Since an interior angle of the hexagon measures 120 degrees, its external angle is approximately 60 degrees.
- Each external angle of a regular polygon with eight sides has the same measure of 45 degrees as its interior angle supplement.
- At a specific vertex, an exterior angle with the supplement of a given interior angle, serves as an example of the polygon's external angle.
