(a) Is it possible to have a regular polygon with measure of each exterior angle as 22°?(b) Can it be an interior angle of a regular polygon? Why?

Answer»

The sum of all exterior angles of all polygons is 360º. Also, in a regular polygon, each exterior angle is of the same measure. Hence, if 360º is a perfect multiple of the given exterior angle, then the given polygon will be possible. 

(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°.
