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.
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.
The approximate value of something is an estimate.
The approximate value of 37 is 37.
Why an approximate value when you know the exact value is 90! To the nearest thousand, for example, it is 0.
The approximate value of the item is $100.00.
Some would point to 2 Chronicles 4:12 and 1 Kings 7:23-26. See related link below:

Approximate value, is a value that is not necessarily the right answer but, it is the closest one to it.It means that it isn't exact - but close to the exact value.
What is the value of the 2 in 52
The approximate value of the keyword in question 2 is around 50,000.
you can't approximate a specific number.
The approximate value of pi up to the fifth decimal place is 3.14159
