More likely because it's easier to manufacture, much easier to put threads on, you don't have to worry about orientation when you put them together, and they have no weak spots created by corners.
My gutter pipes are rectangular because they don't stick out as far from the house as a circular one with the same area. But they are low enough in the pressure they contain that they can be formed from sheet metal with a crimped seam. Making a water supply pipe that way would be impossible.
And it's easy to keep them aligned to the house. Running a rectangular water main under a street would be a major pain.

What method of layering or bending corrugated cardboard provides the best strength while using the least amount of material?
Mr. M says, "Get back to researching on proper websites."
In Wch stp of technological design is represented by this situation Engineers at a car company determine that a more fuel-efficient engine provides the least carbon monoxide emissions and the company?
Solution design and evalution
Can a Boeing fly with one engine?
No. It cannot fly with one engine, because it is very heavy.It must have at least two engines to stay in air.
How matrices can be represented using two dimensional array?
You've pretty much answered your own question because a two-dimensional array is a matrix. Indeed, all multi-dimensional arrays are matrices. When we create a matrix, we generally know what type of data will be stored in the matrix, how many dimensions it will have and how many elements each dimension will have, thus an array is the ideal container to represent a matrix. It provides the most compact method of storing homogeneous data, provides efficient constant-time random access to the data and introduces the least amount of abstraction into the representation. Most languages do not provide a built-in matrix type, however this is simply because there is no one matrix type that would suit every possible application. However, all languages do provide a built-in array mechanism which can be used as the basis for any matrix type which is both simple to create and easy to maintain.
Why do you need to find the natural ground level when building?
Here is what the IRC (International Residential Code) says about footings and proper placement. R403.1.4 Minimum depth. All exterior footings shall be placed at least 12 inches (305 mm) below the undisturbed ground surface. The basic reasoning for getting down to natural ground level is to get to get below the level of undisturbed ground surface. This includes the ground surface likely to include roots and other bio materials. Undisturbed ground is more likely to properly support the weights applied from a structure over the long term. Take for instance tree roots
How do you get a big volume with the least surface area?
The maximum volume with the least surface area is enclosed in a sphere.That's why soap bubbles, balloons, and stars settle into spherical shapes.
What shape has the most surface area?
least volume and most surface area is 3D triangle
What shape would have the least Surface Area and the most volume?
A circle
Will an equilateral triangular prism have the least amount of surface area?
No. Relative to its volume, the greater the number of sides, the smaller the volume. In the limit, a cylinder (circular prism, with an infinite number of "sides") will have the least surface area.
How is a sphere different from other 3d figures?
It has no vertices. It has the least surface to volume ratio. It has infinite axes of symmetry.
What provides the least magnification in the microscope?
The objective lens provides the least magnification in a microscope. It is the lens that is closest to the specimen being viewed.
Which item below provides the least detailed information about the surface of the earth?
The globe cuz all it shows is the earth and its contenents no mountains or lakes.
How do you measure the volume of 10m length cylinder?
You must know at least one other dimension, such as diameter or surface area before this can be answered.
Why does water become spherical when thrown in air?
Water tends to form a spherical shape when thrown in the air due to surface tension. Surface tension causes the water molecules to stick together and minimize the surface area, forming a spherical shape, which has the least surface area for a given volume.
Why are spheres important?
Spheres are important because they are geometric shapes that have the same radius from their center to all points on their surface, making them useful in various fields such as geometry, physics, and engineering. They have unique properties that allow for efficient packing of space, uniform distribution of stresses, and minimal surface area for a given volume, making them ideal for applications such as planetary bodies, bubbles, and particles in suspension.
Why liquids drops are spherical?
Liquids drops tend to be spherical due to the surface tension of the liquid. The surface tension pulls the liquid molecules together in a way that minimizes surface area, resulting in a spherical shape which has the smallest surface area for a given volume.
Why is there an upward force on objects in a fluid?
Because an object has to displace an equivalent volume to be able to sink. Say you dropped a brick into a bucket of water, brick and water cannot occupy the same space at the same time so for the brick to sink it has to "displace" or move a volume of water equal to the size of the brick. That's why when you get in the bath the water level rises - you have displaced a volume of water equal to the size of your body.
