← HistoryWhich consequence occurred if medieval canal builders in Persia lacked algebraic methods?
A)Inaccurate water flow estimation✓
B)Bridge collapse after initial construction
C)Aqueduct vulnerability to seismic activity
D)Incorrect glass lens prescriptions
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate calculations from a lack of algebra impacted accurate water flow. Volume calculations employed algebraic techniques; therefore, estimating the transport rate was difficult, rather than ensuring structural integrity directly or prescribing prescriptions, which involved other mechanisms.
