You can infer the value of pi from the biblical passages at 1 Kings 7:23 and at 2 Chronicles 4:2.
In the first passage, there is a reference to a "molten sea" that is 30 cubits in circumference but only 10 cubits in diameter. This would give a valuation of pi as 3.
In 2 Chronicles, the same measurements are given again. However, the "molten sea" is measured "brim to brim" in both tellings, whereas the circumference is measured outside the container, which in Chronicles is described as having a containing wall a "hands-breadth" thick.
There is an interesting investigation into this all at the link.

Where in the Bible is there a possible indication of the value of PI?
The Wikipedia link that I posted has some historical information about Pi, including references to the Bible. Both of these [1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2] reference measurements of a round basin in front of the Temple, stating that it is 10 cubits across and 30 cubits circumference. This would imply a value of 3 for pi. The article is interesting, and it contains various formulas that have been used to approximate the value of pi.

What is Exact value?
Exact value means you do not approximate. So if you answer has a radical in it, you leave the radical and do not approximate it. If it has a fraction such as 1/3, you leave it and do not approximate it as .3 or .33 or even.333333333333333...
