History

Which outcome arises when using complex algebra incorrectly to orient an astrolabe during al-Ṣūfī's time?

A)Inaccurate celestial angular measurement
B)Damage to delicate instrument parts
C)Excessive wear on the alidade
D)Melted metals from frictional heat

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate direction finding results because incorrect algebraic manipulation during calculations affects the *geometric projection* of celestial coordinates; therefore, angular measurements will be skewed, rather than causing physical damage or wear.
