← HistoryWhich enhancement resulted due to algebraic processes augmenting earlier surveying in medieval Islamic land-tax assessment?
A)Greater scaling using map projections
B)Improved astronomical clock precision
C)Simplified calculation of precise areas✓
D)Reduced reliance on observational data
💡 Explanation
Islamic scholars adopted algebraic generalization to overcome empirical limitations; calculating land parcels benefited because geometric shapes could be precisely represented using equation solving (method of al-jabr), therefore area calculations improved upon crude, measurement only estimations, rather than by other independent factors.
