← HistoryWhich consequence occurred if medieval Islamic surveyors misapplied algebraic surveying techniques on irregular land plots?
A)Inaccurate land tax assessments resulted✓
B)Catastrophic structural collapse ensued
C)Irrigation channels became totally blocked
D)Religious calendars were incorrectly predicted
💡 Explanation
Incorrect partitioning for area estimation led to unequal land distribution because they would inappropriately calculate area by incorrectly estimating length and width, thus employing arithmetic error accumulation rather than optimal methods; therefore, incorrect tax burdens occurred, rather than the structural collapses caused by other misapplications.
