Solution
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.
Interior angle = 22°
Exterior angle = 180° − 22° = 158°
Such a polygon is not possible as 360° is not a perfect multiple of 158°
