The answer is: [B]: 9.61 and 10.24 . _____________________________________________________ [Note: This is based on the assumption that the expression in the problem given is: "(π) squared"; or: "π² " — [and NOT: "(π*2)"; or, "(2*π)".] _______________________________________________________ Explanation: ______________________________________ Let us assume the expression in the problem means: "(π) squared" or, "π² " {"pi squared"; or, "pi to the second power"}. ___________________________________ Then, π² = (3.1415926535897932) ² = 9.8696044010893583772 ___________________________________ Even if one uses "3.14" for "π" ; since π ≈ 3.14; then: Then, π² ≈ (3.14)² ; and: (3.14)² = 9.8596 ___________________________________ Both methods result is 9.8....; which corresponds with: Answer choice: [B]: 9.61 and 10.24 . ______________________________________________
