Can exterior angle of 22 be an interior angle of a regular polygon

how will we solve it?

Solution

(a) Exterior angle = 22°
360º is not a perfect multiple of 22º. Hence, such polygon is not possible.
(b) Interior angle = 22°
Exterior angle = 180° − 22° = 158°
Such a polygon is not possible as 360° is not a perfect multiple of 158°.
