← HistoryWhich outcome increases within early Islamic surveying when using geometric approximation relying extensively on al-jabr principles?
A)Computational resource requirements escalate rapidly
B)Precision diminishes over long distances✓
C)Construction material usage accelerates
D)Personnel training periods shorten drastically
💡 Explanation
Using al-jabr for calculating areas and distances, accumulated rounding errors introduce significant deviations, accumulating through geometric progression, a consequence of error propagation; therefore, precision degrades over substantial scales, rather than limiting training or inflating material consumption that is connected to logistical issues, not a computation property.
