A circular pizza with a 16-inch diameter is cut into 8 equal slices. A square pizza is cut into 9 equal-size pieces. To the nearest inch, find the dimensions of the square pizza so that each of its 9 pieces has the same area as one slice of the round pizza.

Optional Extension: If a box is made to exactly fit the square pizza, will the circular pizza fit into the box?
