To find out how many marbles are on each side of the box, we first need to confirm that 49 is a perfect square. A perfect square is an integer that is the square of another integer.
We can find the square root of 49:
\[
\sqrt{49} = 7
\]
Since 7 is an integer, this means that 49 is indeed a perfect square.
The number of marbles on each side of the box can be thought of as the length of one side of a square that contains a total of 49 marbles. Therefore, if there are 49 marbles in total and they form a perfect square, each side of this square will have:
\[
7 \text{ marbles}
\]
So, the number of marbles on each side is
\[
\boxed{7}
\]
