Result: 35.44907702

Syntax: =SQRTPI(A5)
Result: 53.17361553

Syntax: =SQRTPI(A6)
Result: 10.63472311

Syntax: =SQRTPI(A7)
Result: 12.40717696

Syntax: =SQRTPI(A8)
Result: 28.35926161

Syntax: =SQRTPI(A9)
Result: 21.26944621

Syntax: =SQRTPI(A10)
Result: 19.49699236

Syntax: =SQRTPI(A12)
Result: #NUM!

Syntax: =SQRTPI(A13)
Result: #NUM!

Syntax: =SQRTPI(ABS(A14))
Result: 21.26944621
