Answer:

  • 25 times smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor is:

  • k = 1/5

Ratio of surface areas is:

  • k² = (1/5)² = 1/25

Surface area will be 25 times smaller

Correct choice is D

MisterBrainly

We know the ratio of sides to area

  • a/b=a²/b²

So

If diameter is multiplied by 1/5

Surface are increases

  • (1/5)²
  • 1/25

25 times smaller
