During early Islamic astronomy, which outcome resulted from applying algebraic methods to solve geometric problems in astronomical instruments?

💡 Explanation

When Islamic scholars applied algebraic methods, particularly by al-Khwarizmi, to astronomical geometry, it resulted in simplification of complex spherical trigonometry calculations involved in star chart projections because algebraic manipulation allowed for more efficient solutions. Therefore, simplified projections resulted, rather than lens grinding, angle improvements or automation since algebraic skills focus on calculation rather than those physical mechanisms.
