Which outcome resulted from medieval Islamic scholars using quadratic equations to determine land surveying after floods?

💡 Explanation

When flood waters receded, quadratic equations provided algebraic tools to calculate new land boundaries by segmenting areas efficiently, to allow fairer compensation for farmers who lost land. Therefore a more equitable land redistribution was achieved, rather than standardization, irrigation or taxing which relied more on cartology.
