Why is not the answer D (none of the above)?  My calculator says square root of pi is 1.77245...

This is more of a "how to take a test" question than a math question.  Someone who is going to guess may figure that one the two look-alike answers would be correct, and choose among them, presuming 50-50 odds of the answer being B or C.

On the other hand, the correct answer requires having a calculator.  No insight needed.

Terrible question.  Shame on the textbook writer or instructor for sloppy teaching.
