Which consequence occurs on scaled astrolabes when maintaining angles?

A)Increased scale measurement errors
B)Parallax reduced proportionately scaled
C)Algebra simplifies trigonometric equations
D)Alidade arm length increases greatly

💡 Explanation

Measurement errors increase on scaled mechanical astrolabes because smaller scale divisions weaken angular resolution, because the *lever rule* dictates smaller movements create large percentage differences and read errors; hence increased error rates, rather than smaller scale parity problems under magnification.
