surface area of similar objects varies directly with the square of their corresponding sides
ratio of surface areas
= 5^2 : 4^2
= 25 : 16
ratio of surface areas
= 5^2 : 4^2
= 25 : 16

Hmmm. I interpret the problem to be that the cones have the same diameter. Hence, the same base radius.
Since the curved surface area is πrs, if r is constant, then the area is proportional to s, so it is also in the ratio 5:4.
