Answer: 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the approximate length of each side of the square box that can fit a bicycle wheel, we need to find the diameter of the wheel from its circumference.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

C = πd, where:

  • C is the circumference
  • π is approximately 3.14159
  • d is the diameter

Given the circumference C = 56.5 inches, we can solve for the diameter d:

56.5 = πd

Substitute the given values:

d = 56.5/π

d ≈ 18 inches

The approximate length of each side of the box is 18 inches.
