    follow the same method I showed you in your other post with a similar concept
Except here you have areas instead of volumes
Hint: areas of similar shapes area proportional to the square of their corresponding sides.

    90/x = 5^2/10^2
90/x = 25/100 = 1/4
x = 360
    
90/x = 25/100 = 1/4
x = 360
