Um... I think its 60* ... I think if not, sorry
360*/6=60*
Since all 6 points on the circumference of the circle are equally spaced, the string running from each outer point to, and around the center point, and back to the next outer point forms 6 equilateral triangles. The 6 angles formed by the radial strings from the center to the outer points sum to 360º making the central angle of each triangle 60º. By definition therefore, the remaining two angles within each triangle must total 120º making the two outer angles of each triangle 60º each.
The angles between adjacent outer string sides of the hexagon are therefore 120º apart.
