Which consequence resulted from early sextant inaccuracy on long voyages?

💡 Explanation

Errors in angle measurement due to the sextant accumulate during dead reckoning because the calculation relies on past positions and headings; therefore, longitudinal error increases rather than isolated latitudinal mistakes.
