Hey! I'm a mathematician (at least I play one on TV).
Actually, the series I was thinking of gives (pi^2)/6. There really is no answer to "what is the square root of pi". The only interesting place that that number shows up is in the formula for the Bell Curve.

For all practical purposes Pi = 3.14
A closer practical number is 22/7 =3.1428571
Square root of 3.14 =1.772
Square root of 3.1428571 = 1.7728105
It would be unusual to need it any closer than either of the above.

A+ for the only correct answer.
(pi)1/2 is the correct answer and it's exact!

PI is NOT radical...... Conservative, perhaps, but not radical.
