No, pi (π) is not equal to the square root of 10.
While some individuals may propose that π = √10, this is mathematically incorrect. Pi is a transcendental number, meaning it cannot be expressed as the root of any non-zero polynomial equation with rational coefficients. Its decimal representation is non-repeating and non-terminating.

- Square root of 10 (√10): Approximately 3.1622776601...
As you can see, the values are close, but not identical. The assertion that pi is equal to the square root of 10 is an approximation, not an exact equality. While using √10 as an approximation for π might be suitable in certain rough estimations, it is not mathematically sound for precise calculations. The small difference would propagate and cause significant errors in more complex calculations. The actual value of Pi has been calculated to trillions of digits and is definitively not √10.
