Answer:

It could be 2:5 or 6pi:15pi

Explanation:

If you write the ratio of the surface area as a fraction, you would get
(20\pi *yd^(2) )/(125\pi *yd^(2) ). Simplifying it would leave
(4)/(25). But this is NOT the answer because that is the ratio of the surface area. You have to square root it to find the scale factor. The square root is
(2)/(5). The answers would be 2:5 and 6pi:15pi.
