Answer:

No, it's not possible.

Explanation:

To check whether it's possible or not, we have to find the number of sides of the polygon having each exterior angles of 138°.

Sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360°

Number of sides :

Sum of all exterior angles/Measure of each exterior angle

➡ 360°/ 138°

➡ 2.6

The number of sides is 2.6, Such polygon doesn't exist. So, it's not possible.

To check whether it's [ regular polygon with each exterior angle of 138 degree​] possible or not, we have to find the number of sides of the polygon having each exterior angles of 138°.

Sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360°

Number of sides :

\color{blue} {\looparrowright} Sum of all exterior angles / Measurement of each exterior angle

\color{blue} {\looparrowright} 360°/ 138°

\color{blue} {\looparrowright} 2.6

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}The number of sides is 2.6, Such polygon doesn't exist. So, it's not possible to have a regular polygon with each exterior angle of 138 degree​.

or ,

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}No. of sides = n

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}Each interior angle = 155°

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}∴ ((2n – 4) × 90°)/n = 155°

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}180n - 360° = 155n

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}180n – 155n = 360°

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}25n = 360°

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}n = 360°/25°

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}n = 72°/5

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}Which is not a whole number.

\color{blue} {\looparrowright}hence , its not possible.
