What I remember, where "r" is the corner radius:

Example:
If H = 2.00", W = 4.00", r = .125"
A = 7.95"

You got me there. Less than 1% error...
When your done calculating all the irregularities in this casting passage, Pull your head out, and get to work in the shop.
I was asking to see if the flow area was closer to 7/16 dia or 12/16=3/4. Not 0.6%
