To find the radius of the transformed circle, we multiply the original radius by the scale factor.

Original radius: 6 inches
Scale factor: 4

Transformed radius = Original radius x Scale factor
Transformed radius = 6 x 4
Transformed radius = 24

Therefore, the radius of the transformed circle is 24 inches.

The scale factor between two circles is the ratio of their circumferences.

Let's denote the scale factor as \( k \). Given that circle O has a circumference of 37 meters and circle P has a circumference of 111 meters, we can set up the following equation:

\[ k = \frac{\text{Circumference of P}}{\text{Circumference of O}} \]

\[ k = \frac{111}{37} \]
\[ k = 3 \]

Therefore, the scale factor from circle O to circle P is 3.

To find the circumference of circle B with a radius of 60 millimeters, we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle:

\[ \text{Circumference} = 2 \times \pi \times \text{radius} \]

Given that circle A has a radius of 6 millimeters and a circumference of 38 millimeters, we can find the value of π (Pi) using the relationship between the radius and circumference:

\[ \text{Circumference of A} = 2 \times \pi \times \text{radius of A} \]
\[ 38 = 2 \times \pi \times 6 \]
\[ 38 = 12\pi \]
\[ \pi ≈ \frac{38}{12} ≈ 3.17 \]

Now, we can find the circumference of circle B with a radius of 60 millimeters using the calculated value of π:

\[ \text{Circumference of B} = 2 \times 3.17 \times 60 \]
\[ \text{Circumference of B} ≈ 2 \times 3.17 \times 60 \]
\[ \text{Circumference of B} ≈ 377.4 \text{ millimeters} \]

Therefore, the approximate circumference of circle B with a radius of 60 millimeters is approximately 377.4 millimeters.
