Simply because upon impact, the force hitting a round tower is more spread out than on a square tower. Try it yourself: take a raw egg in the palm of your hand and try to crush it using one hand only. It will be impossible (or at least very hard) due to the curvature of the shell, which would otherwise be extremely easy to break.

I would prove it to you using a mathematical diagram but I just can't work out how to attach photos into this answer.

Hope you find this useful,

What is stronger a round steel pipe or a steel hollow square bar?

By stronger, we need to define the loading conditions of the rod or pipe. The strength of a rod or pipe is typically evaluated with axial, transverse (bending), and torsion loads. With the same diameter and the same material, a solid rod is stronger than a hollow pipe. However, with the same weight and material, the hollow pipe is stronger than a solid rod. Because a hollow pipe is lighter than a solid rod at the same diameter, the hollow pipe would have a larger diameter in order to match weights with the solid rod and a larger diameter rod or pipe is stronger than a smaller diameter one.

How many perfect square nmbers are less than 1617 and greatr than 5929?

Take the square root of 1617 and round it up. Take the square root of 5929 and round it down. That gives you the lower and upper range of the numbers which you must square to get the desired perfect squares.
