← HistoryWhich advancement resulted when Al-Khwarizmi applied geometric algebra to solve inheritance disputes based on Sharia Law?
A)Standardized method of land surveying
B)Formulation of quadratic equation solutions✓
C)Design of more accurate astrolabes
D)Development of advanced irrigation systems
💡 Explanation
When Al-Khwarizmi geometrically represented algebraic equations to solve proportional divisions in inheritance, the solution for quadratic equations became more accessible because it reduced complex problems to visualizable areas. Therefore, quadratic equation solutions resulted, rather than surveying, astrolabes, or irrigation, which relied on other applications of math.
