← HistoryWhich risk during the Abbasid Dynasty increased dependence on geometric approximation, when calculating land area using algebraic equations?
A)Inaccurate surveying instrument calibrations✓
B)Systematic errors in celestial calculations
C)Polynomial expansions for curve fitting
D)Unavailability of Arabic numeral symbols
💡 Explanation
Increased dependence on approximation stemmed from inaccurate surveying instrument calibrations because geometric forms of land are often irregular. The accumulation of errors propagated, therefore requiring algebraic methods, rather than purely geometric deductions, attempted to improve measurement accuracy.
