A square flower bed has an area of 104 square feet. To the nearest foot, what is the length of

each side of the flower bed?
10 feet***
11 feet
26 feet
52 feet

x * x = 104

x^2 = 104
X = 10 ft.

To find the length of each side of the square flower bed, we need to find the square root of the area of the flower bed, which is 104 square feet.

Taking the square root of 104, we find that the nearest whole number is approximately 10 feet.

Therefore, the length of each side of the flower bed to the nearest foot is 10 feet.

To find the length of each side of the flower bed, you can calculate the square root of the area. In this case, the area is given as 104 square feet.

To find the square root of 104, you can use a calculator or follow these steps:

1. Start by guessing a number that when squared is close to 104. Let's start with a guess of 10.
2. Square the guess: 10 * 10 = 100. Since this is less than 104, we need a larger number.
3. Increase the guess slightly, maybe to 11.
4. Square the new guess: 11 * 11 = 121. This is greater than 104, so we know the actual square root is between 10 and 11.
5. To get a more precise answer, you can guess numbers between 10 and 11, such as 10.1, 10.2, and so on. Square each guess until you find a number that is close to 104.
6. By trying out different values, you'll find that the closest whole number square root to 104 is approximately 10.2.
7. Since the question asks for the length to the nearest foot, we can round 10.2 to 10 to get the nearest foot.

Therefore, the length of each side of the flower bed is approximately 10 feet.
