Detailed explanation-1: -The ancient Egyptians were the first civilization to develop and solve second-degree (quadratic) equations. This information is found in the Berlin Papyrus fragment. Additionally, the Egyptians solve first-degree algebraic equations found in Rhind Mathematical Papyrus.
Detailed explanation-2: -This model proposes that there was one ramp on a single side of the pyramid. As more blocks were brought to the top, the ramp was lengthened and raised so stones could be brought higher.
