Answer: The radius of circle V is 16. Circle V and circle W are similar.

First, V is a dilation of circle W with a scale factor of 2. That means the radius of W gets multiplied by 2 to transform into V. Therefore, it changes from 8 to 16.

Second, all circles are similar because they are all the same shape, just different sizes.
