← HistoryWhich achievement resulted from Al-Khwarizmi's development of symbolic algebra during the Islamic Golden Age?
A)Predicting planetary orbital periods accurately
B)Designing structural arches for mosques efficiently
C)Calculating inheritance distribution based on rules✓
D)Developing musical harmonies based on ratios
💡 Explanation
Al-Khwarizmi's algebra provided a framework for solving equations involving unknowns, enabling systematic calculation of inheritances according to Islamic Sharia law. Therefore fair distribution became more accurate, rather than astronomical predictions, efficient structural design or complex musical harmony which require alternate techniques.
