3.14 is rational because it's just an approximation of pi. 3.14 can be written as the fraction 3.14/100 but pi is never ending and cannot be written as a fraction since it goes on forever. (To be a rational number, the number has to be able to be written as a fraction.)

Because pi is a non terminating number which means it repeats but not the same numbers one after another
