The rotation doesn't affect the maximum radius. The maximum radius will be the smaller of width or height, divided by 2.

The difficult part of the question is that the circle is really a 3D object ie it can be rotate about the x or y axis. Ie imagine a plain circle drawn on the screen, now imagine your could "push" the top of it down till its was edge on, then the max radius would be half the width of the box. If pushed in on the left till it was edge on it woulde be half the height of the box. But how about all the other angles in between. So you have width/height of box, and x rotation and a y rotation, so what is the max radius..
