the "point" of algebra is that applying the equation is much simpler and faster than calculating this area using Thales or whatever, you just have to plug-in the values straight from the Wiki

I actually looked into it and guess what, the approximation ratios found on the wiki, and I quote "The common rule-of-thumb is 25 solar panels to 21 accumulators to generate about 1 MW" (actually 1 041 + 2/3 kW, but I digress) "A simpler close ratio is 6 solar panels to 5 accumulators"
guess what, none of these ratios are even optimal, 22:26 (11:13) and 6:7 are closer to 2646:3125 than 21:25 and 5:6 are, they couldn't even get this "common wisdom" part right
