What is the approximate value of pi (π)?

  1. 2.71

  2. 3.14

  3. 3.41

  4. 4.13

The correct answer is: 3.14

The approximate value of pi (π) is 3.14. The other options are incorrect because they are either too low or too high. Option A, 2.71, is closer to the value of the mathematical constant e (approximately 2.718). Option C, 3.41, is higher than the actual value of pi. Option D, 4.13, is also higher and more than a whole number away from the actual value of pi. Therefore, option B, 3.14, is the closest approximation of pi and the correct answer.
