Which outcome occurs when a medieval architect uses inaccurate algebraic ratios while scaling the arches of a Moorish palace?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate ratios create a weakness because the load distribution relies on precise ARCHED force resolution to maintain stability; therefore, structural integrity diminishes, rather than resulting in improved acoustics or aesthetic changes.
