    B. The area of the field is 10.24 times the area of the playground.

    Explanation:

    First thing to note is that the field and playground are rectangular

    Secondly is that the dimension of the field is 3.2 times the corresponding dimension of the playground

    Dimension of playground = P

    Dimension of field = F = 3.2P

    Hence area of rectangle = L x B

    Area of the field = (3.2 x 3.2) x Area of playground

    Area of field = 10.4 times the area of the playground.
