The index of the refraction is 0.898 and the index of the refraction is less than one which is unreasonable because the speed of the light can't be more than c.

<h3>What is refraction?</h3>

The phenomenon bending of a wave as it crosses from one medium to another is said to be refraction. The difference in density is the cause of the bending.

Refraction is a term that is used to describe the phenomenon of refraction."The change in direction of a wave traveling through one medium to another is known as refraction."

From the Snell's law:

nsinФ = n'sin∅

We have n' = 1.33, ∅ = 10.0°, Ф = 14.9°

nsin110.0° = 1.33×sin14.9°

n = 0.898

Because the speed of light cannot be greater than c, the index of refraction is less than one, which is illogical.

It is illogical to assume that the angle of refraction is excessively large in relation to the angle of incidence.

Thus, the index of the refraction is 0.898 and the index of the refraction is less than one which is unreasonable because the speed of the light can't be more than c.

Find both solutions for the variable b^2+ 9b+ 18=0
Paul [167]
If you would like to solve the equation b^2 + 9 * b + 18 = 0 for the variable b, you can do this using the following step:

b^2 + 9 * b + 18 = 0
(b + 3) * (b + 6) = 0

Result:
1. solution: b = - 3
2. solution: b = - 6

Is triangle COW ~ triangle PIG identify the similarity postulate or theorem that applies
ch4aika [34]
We can see that OW/IG = 5/15 = 1/3 and CW/PG = 7/21 = 1/3. So we have two ratios that result in the same value (1/3). We would need to know if CO/IP is also 1/3 as well, so we can use the SSS similarity theorem. However we don't have that information. So we can't use SSS. 

Alternatively, if we knew that angle CWO = angle PGI, then we can use the SAS similarity theorem. But that bit of info isn't given to us, so we can't use SAS either.

AA can't be used because we don't know anything about any pairs of angles. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In short, the answer is choice D. It cannot be determined. There isn't enough information.
