1. The problem is to evaluate the square root of 29, written as $\sqrt{29}$.\n\n2. Since 29 is not a perfect square, $\sqrt{29}$ is an irrational number.\n\n3. To approximate $\sqrt{29}$, find the two perfect squares it lies between: $25$ and $36$.\n\n4. Since $25 < 29 < 36$, $\sqrt{29}$ lies between $5$ and $6$.\n\n5. Using a calculator or estimation, $\sqrt{29} \approx 5.385$.\n\nFinal answer: $\sqrt{29} \approx 5.385$.
