A rectangular section is 0.7 m wide and 0.4 m high. A separate circular section has diameter 0.5 m. The same supplied volume flow 0.8 m³/s passes through either section. Use π=3.1416 and mean velocity=flow/area. This is geometric comparison only; pressure loss, noise and actual duct design are excluded.
Calculate the circular area in m². Keep intermediate values unrounded; round the final result to four decimal places if necessary.
