To find the side length of a square game board with an area of 124 square inches, we can use the formula for the area of a square:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]
Given that the area is 124 square inches, we can set up the equation:
\[
\text{side length}^2 = 124
\]
To find the side length, we take the square root of both sides:
\[
\text{side length} = \sqrt{124}
\]
Now we can calculate the square root:
\[
\sqrt{124} \approx 11.13
\]
Rounding to the nearest inch, the approximate side length of the square game board is:
\[
\boxed{11} \text{ inches}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]
Given that the area is 124 square inches, we can set up the equation:
\[
\text{side length}^2 = 124
\]
To find the side length, we take the square root of both sides:
\[
\text{side length} = \sqrt{124}
\]
Now we can calculate the square root:
\[
\sqrt{124} \approx 11.13
\]
Rounding to the nearest inch, the approximate side length of the square game board is:
\[
\boxed{11} \text{ inches}
\]
