Let's evaluate the statements one by one.

1. **\(\sqrt{16} > 4\)**: This is false because \(\sqrt{16} = 4\).

2. **\(\sqrt{16} < 4\)**: This is also false for the same reason; \(\sqrt{16} = 4\).

3. **\(\sqrt{12} > \pi\)**: To evaluate this, we can approximate. \(\sqrt{12} \approx 3.464\) and \(\pi \approx 3.14\), so \(\sqrt{12} > \pi\) is true.

4. **\(\sqrt{12} < \pi\)**: Since \(\sqrt{12} \approx 3.464\) is greater than \(\pi \approx 3.14\), this statement is false.

Thus, the true statement based on rational approximations is:

\(\sqrt{12} > \pi\)
