Answer:

pi is an irrational number, meaning that its decimal form neither ends (like 1/4 = 0.25) nor becomes repetitive

Explanation:

In decimal form, the value of pi is approximately 3.14. But pi is an irrational number, meaning that its decimal form neither ends (like 1/4 = 0.25) nor becomes repetitive (like 1/6 = 0.166666...). (To only 18 decimal places, pi is 3.141592653589793238.)
