James defines an angle as "a figure consisting of two rays." His statement is not precise enough because he should specify that the rays must be collinear
the rays must form a right angle
the rays must have a common endpoint
the rays must continue in one direction forever

Statement: If two noncollinear rays join at a common endpoint, then an angle is created. Which geometry term does the statement represent?

Defined term
Postulate
Theorem
Undefined term

James should define that the rays must be collinear. the two rays coming from the same point will form collinear rays which will form an angle at end point.

The statement of james should be precise in order to clearly explain the angle formation.

The two non collinear rays will form an angle at end point where they meet with each other.

The defined vertex will form the appropriate angle. there should be defined term for the non collinear rays.

I took the test and got both right :))

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
