← HistoryWhich precision improvement occurred when astrolabe makers used quadratic solutions?
A)Solves cubic equations accurately
B)Angles calculated for complex curves
C)Star altitude precisely measured✓
D)Equinox timing calculations made easier
💡 Explanation
Solving quadratic equations allowed extremely accurate angular star positions because measurements were resolved precisely using algebraic manipulation of data rather than geometric approximation; therefore increased precision occurred, rather than easier calculation or solutions for more complex equations.
