The ancient Babylonian canals and waterways are the most similar in function to the Suez canal. It is a man-made canal that runs between Africa and the Sinai Penselua. It is primarily used by large shipping companies as a shortcut down the East Coast of Africa from Europe. Ships used to have to go all the way down the West Coast of Africa, around the Horn of Africa to get to Eastern Africa. Manmade canals and waterways are also used in low-lying countries such as the Netherlands to drain the water from the land into the sea.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

(A) Studying algebraic equations in math.

This was made possible by contributions of Islamic civilizations

Explanation:

“Muslim scholars” contributed largely in the field of Mathematics in the golden age of Islamic civilization. “Arabic number system” is widely used even today.

The first great achievement was introduction of ‘’Arabic numerals’’. It explains the "place-value" theory, which allows numbers to be expressed by “nine figures” and zero. This development made calculation very simple and also paved the way for the development of a completely new division of mathematics which is “algebra”. Even Arabic words entered Western vocabulary like “Al-JABR” became “Algebra”.
