Answer:
Dilate circle A by a scale factor of 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dilating circle A by 4 would be the same as multiplying its radius of 6 by 4, which would make it 24.
The radius of circle B is 24.
Rotating it wouldn't change anything (it's a circle), and I don't think reflecting and translating show circle similarity
10 - 5 = 5

Let the length of the playground be x, then the width is 6 + x.
Area = length * width = x * (6 + x) = 6x + x^2 = 216
Solving the quadratic equation x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0, we have x = 12 or -18
i.e length = 12 and width = 6 + 18 = 18
In order to solve this, we need to select the function that meets our constraints. Since x^2 - 5 occurs when x is less than 3, and the x-value we are given is -4, we use the first function.
f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 5
f(-4) = 16 - 5
f(-4) = 11
