Respuesta :
The equation of the Ferris wheel is x² + y² = 25, and the transformation that shows that the circles are similar is the dilation transformation
How to determine the equation of the Ferris wheel?
From the question, we have the following parameters:
- Center (a,b) = (0,0)
- Radius, r = 5
The equation of a circle is represented as:
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
So, we have:
(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 5²
Evaluate
x² + y² = 25
Hence, the equation of the Ferris wheel is x² + y² = 25

Transformation to a similar circle
Assume that the similar circle has the following parameters:
- Center (a,b) = (0,0)
- Radius, r = 10
The equation of the circle would be:
(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 10²
Evaluate
x² + y² = 100
Since both circles have the same center, the transformation that shows that they are similar is the dilation transformation
