History

Which capability did al-Khwarizmi's development of algebra provide in surveying during the Abbasid Caliphate?

A)Calculating complex inheritance divisions of land
B)Determining accurate star positions for navigation
C)Predicting seasonal Nile flooding for agriculture
D)Constructing precise sundials for timekeeping locally

💡 Explanation

When land needed division according to Islamic inheritance laws, algebra's systematic equation-solving allowed efficient calculation of complex subdivisions because it provided a standardized method for geometric proportioning. Therefore the ability to manage complex inheritance divisions resulted, rather than solely stellar navigation, flood prediction or creating sundials, which rely on different principles.
