← HistoryDuring the Islamic Golden Age, which consequence arose from the widespread algebraic manipulation of geometric ratios?
A)Improved astrolabe angular precision✓
B)Standardized medicinal dosage calculation
C)Enhanced irrigation canal designs
D)Streamlined textile pattern generation
💡 Explanation
Algebra enabled refining trigonometric tables on astrolabes, because algebraic expressions improved the accuracy of angle calculations via Ratio and Proportion method. Therefore finer divisions were achievable, rather than relying on geometric estimations as before; doses/irrigation changed via empirical means.
