abs(11-pi) = color(blue)(11-pi)|11−π|=11−π or, approximately, color(blue)(7.85841)7.85841

Explanation:

piπ is just a number which is less than 1111

So
color(white)("XXX")11-pi > 0XXX11−π>0
and
color(white)("XXX")abs(11-pi) = 11-piXXX|11−π|=11−π

Using the approximation pi=3.14159π=3.14159
color(white)("XXX")11-pi=7.85841XXX11−π=7.85841
