why a regular convex polygon cannot have an exterior angle of 25 degrees?
The exterior angles are 360/n, n = # of sides.
360/25 is not an integer. A polygon can't have 360/25 = 14.4 sides.

why a regular convex polygon cannot have an interior angle of 130 degrees?
Ext angles = 180 - 130 = 50 degs
Same as above.
