Answer:

1

Explanation:

Considering that the circle has radius of 3ft to mean its diameter is twice the radius hence 6 ft

Given that the length of the square is 10 ft

10÷6=1 ⅔ hence only 1 circle

10-6=4 ft

The space of 4ft can't allow another circle to fit without an overlap. Therefore, only one circle can fit
