    205°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    an hexagon has 6 sides.

    Sum of angles in a polygon = (2n-4) * 90

    for hexagon, = (2*6 - 4) * 90 = 720°

    Since the angles of the hexagon forms an arithmetic sequence, the angles will be;

    a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, a+4d, a+5d

    a+a+d+a+2d+a+3d+a+4d+a+5d = 720

    6a+15d = 720

    15d = 720 - 6a

    but a = 35 degrees

    15d = 720 - (6*35)

    15d = 510

    d=34°

    the largest angle is a+5d = 35 + (5*34)

    = 205°
